Have you ever been harmed in this way?

Thanks for that. It definitely works (http://laniels.org/blah), but I
can't seem to get it to work with the weblog?file substitution. I've
copied my virtual-host block below. I still get the error that Apache
things 'http://laniels.org/weblog' refers to a file called 'weblog' in
DocumentRoot.

The trouble seems to come down to the '?file' chunk, because (as you can
see below, and you can see by visiting
http://laniels.org/weblog?rightframe=3Dvideophones) the substitution
'^/weblog http://laniels.org/cgi-bin/weblog' seems to work fine - and
works perfectly file even with arguments passed to the weblog. I escaped
the '?' so that it wouldn't be confused with the '?' regex character; the
mod_rewrite manual says this is okay: visit
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html#InternalRuleset and
search for the word 'slosh' (a typo in the documentation) if you need
proof. Maybe the backreferencing works differently than I thought it did.
