Mod Rewrite For Section Pages

[jonstringer]

Hi not sure if this is possible.

Since 2004 we have always built our front end seperatly from actinic and now I would like to generate our section pages from within actinic.

I would like to keep our existing url's exactly as they are now so I was wondering if the following is possible using a mod rewrite.

Our prodcut page urls are

www.mysite.com/acatalog/product_somthing.html

and our hard coded section page urls are

www.mysite.com/product_section.shtml (outside actinic)

Would it be possible to create the section pages in actinic using something like:-

http://www.mysite.som/acatalog/--s--..._section.shtml

and then use a mod rewrite to completely remove...

acatalog/--s--

from the url making it

www.mysite.com/product_section.shtml

but at the same time maintaining

/acatalog/product_something.html

for our product pages?
