Hi Joshua (and all),
 
That worked great thanks, I had to take out the caret ^ you had at the beginning of /servMainSite in the RewriteRule to make it work but otherwise fine. Here's what I ended up with:
 
  RewriteCond %{Request_URI} !^/img
  RewriteCond %{Request_URI} !^/favicon.ico
  RewriteCond %{Request_URI} !^/robots.txt
  RewriteCond %{Request_URI} !^/css
  RewriteCond %{Request_URI} !^/menu
  RewriteCond %{Request_URI} !^/servMainSite
  RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /servMainSite?inner=$1 [R,QSA,L]
 
I also added the R flag. Mainly because I always have done and it has always worked for me! The documentation is so confusing though, can you tell me if it is necessary? When I look at the RewriteLog I find that it has now got a 302 is this what I want? Should I add a "permanent" flag?
 
Thanks,
 
Andoni

There are several ways to do this.  Here's one:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{Request_URI} !^/img
RewriteCond %{Request_URI} !^/css
...
RewriteRule ^/(.*) ^/servMainSite?inner=$1 [QSA,L]
