Thanks, for the info. Unfortunately the suggested rule does not seem to work as expected.
Let me further explain what I'm trying to achieve: All *.mydomain.com subdomains point to the same /mydomain/ local path as DocumentRoot (can't change this behavior due to shared hosting restrictions) and I'd like to have a.mydomain.com -> /mydomain/a (http://a.mydomain.com still shown in address bar) a.mydomain.com/dir1/ -> /mydomain/dir1 (http://a.mydomain.com/dir1/ still shown in address bar) b.mydomain.com -> /mydomain/b (http://b.mydomain.com still shown in address bar) b.mydomain.com/dir2/ -> /mydomain/dir2 (http://a.mydomain.com/dir2/ still shown in address bar) My rule seems to work this way, with the notably exception of links to subdirs not containing trailing slash Thanks in advance.
