External Redirect then Internal Redirect back

    I have a need to redirect a url externally then use that same path internally and I'm getting into a redirection loop. Which makes sense, but there must be a way to do this....

    For example, I need to redirect this URL:

    example.com/content/foo/en_us/bar/baz.html

    which is the full path to a product details page. But we want to remove part of that path to:

    example.com/foo/bar/baz.html

    Currently both paths work in the configuration. But I want to 301 redirect users that are using the full path to the newer, and then access that content on the full path. So basically I want to redirect the user externally to the newer path and then access the content on its full path via httpd.conf

    Any ideas..?
