Mod Rewrite problems (problems caused by Mod Rewrites?)

    Can anyone summarize potential problems for a dynamic website caused by implementing mod (url) rewrites?
    Particularly for website maintenance such as the ability to create new categories (folders of content) keeping in mind that those categories that appear in the URL now (www.website.com/category/) have been rewritten from a parameter in a dynamic structure (www.website.com/site?section=category)
    My IT resources claim they now have to code links twice

    I'm not clear why or how this could be possible. Yet it appears to coincide with the reslease of our rewrites.

    Any insights??

    Thank you!!

    You have to have something unique in the URL, like an extention not used any where else, or an extra directory name in the .htaccess file. domain.com/unique/whatever.unique
