I've hit this problem a few times. Another case where it can bite is 
with Flash, when talking home.

I thought Redirect was path->URL, and

  Redirect / http://www.blah.com/

will loop, won't it (in directory context)? Shows what I know. I'd 
appreciate knowing the right way to do this (outside of httpd.conf).

Yes, this helps one you are at the appropriate location ;-) The 
problematic URL(s) caused a 404, but once over that $SCriptUrl takes 
over.
