I found this behavior surprising.
[Note: I guess everywhere I said RewriteBase, I really meant per-dir prefix. The per-dir prefix is what is stripped at the beginning; the RewriteBase is prepended at the end.] > Mhmmm; actually, that's exactly what I'm using in environments where I > don't have access to the main server configuration. :-) > E.g. domain1 points to /var/www, domain2 to /var/www/sub and > /var/www/sub/.htaccess inherits (i.e. 1:1 copy) /var/www/.htaccess.

I straced Apache 2.2.10 and it only starts processing .htaccess files from the document root, so if the document root for domain2 were /var/www/sub , it would not read /var/www/.htaccess at all to inherit any rules defined there.
