Hi Benoit!

I'm not an expert at  url redirects, but I 'm pretty sure they only deal
with the part of the url that follows the web domain, so you could get a
rule to change
http://www.web-farm.org/wiki/fields/WiCo/index.php/Lokhim/Sustainability
into http://www.web-farm.org/Sustainability<http://www.lokhim.net/Sustainability>but
not into
http://www.lokhim.net/Sustainability.  Also it looks like some other
problems in the way you set this up. But I'll let others weigh in on some of
those issues. I just think you need to get an answer for this problem first.

Cheers,
Dan
