Bingo. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that URL-space always
traverses file-space. That's a common, easy, and intuitive way to set
up a (static) web site. But it's not the only way.
The Alias directive only works for mapping URLs to filenames; symlinks
only map filenames to filenames.

mod_rewrite lets you map any URL on your site to any other URL (on your
site or not). It's a great tool.
