mod rewrite question

    I have replication site system that I purchased that I want to set up for multiple customers. Currently it requires me to set up a product category so the url for my customer would look like this "www.mysite.com/product/customername" I want a user to just be able to type in www.mysite.com/customername. Would this be possible to do with a mod_rewrite to have the server direct a user to the correct directory even if they just have the customername after the domain name? I am a newbie and would appreciate any help.

    Thanks

    as long as there aren't any other filenames that would go after the domain that,

    a) have no extension (such as .php) or
    b) have a number

    Otherwise it will be hard to match,

    So www.mysite.com/about
    will redirect even though it isn't supposed to.

    Thanks but how would I actually code it in the .htaccess file?
