In my mind at least, your adventures are proof that rewrite rules are a bandaid on a hack and best avoided if at all possible. :-/

very useful when an app doesnt have the capabilities
these days an app that doesnt have the capabilities should be ash canned

Agreed... but.
Many places just don't have the capital to just replace apps. And need to just make due.

Its more that...
The organization wanted to get away from the previous application that did the Website for them. Charging US$21,000 per year for an essentially static website...
They are having to support the old website... and point all the "pages in Google" to the proper pages at the new merged site. They are paying an SEO/Marketing firm a ton of money and they had this arm-lengths long list of *CRITICAL* old URLs that had to be redirected to the proper location. |

I feel your pain.
I've fought SEO URL battles before, too. I've made sure we have URL handling tricks (for database-driven data!) in the app so we don't have to do that sort of shit in rewrite rules.
