[Linux-disciples] SSI and ErrorDocuments

[Adam Rosi-Kessel]

Still going further afield from the sort of solution you're looking for,
you could explicitly exclude a certain set of URLs from Rewrite-ing at
all; there is a NOT type joinder for RewriteCond, so why not just leave
out the nonexistent_url page; or some other kind of uniform URL form that
says "this sort of URL should not go through the template filter"?
