    Hi
    I have a rewrite in my Forum so that the URL's are more searchengine friendly. So that all Pages get a .html extension rather than a .php extension.
    Now my site has URL's like this : www.mysite.com/forum/forum10.html
    I want now to change that /forum10.html into a keyword of that Forum, like /beer.html
    With a Redirect permanent /forum/forum10.html http://www.mysite.com/forum/beer.html
    Is that possible and clever to have a redirect on a redirect? And does it slow down your website if your .htaccess is getting to big with all those Redirects?
    Or is there an easier solution for all this?

    I wouldn't worry too much about performance, evera, unless you're getting VERY high server loads - see the sticky in this forum.

    That might be the best solution for my problem. Getting a better script than I have now, rather than improving the one I got.
    Thanks for the links
