There's an excellent book about regular expressions from O'Reilly. Spend a 
weekend with it, really.

RewriteEngine on
# this rule will match all url's starting with index.php,
# including /index.php?foo=bar but also /index.phpxxx
RewriteRule /index.php(.*)$ /index.php$1 [L]
# if that rule isn't matched, the follwing rule will ut anything as id=
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?id=$1 [L]

Would that help !?
