But are the wildcards used correctly?

That's the part I'm nervous about.

Also, if I wanted to redirect a number of files to a specific page:

"all html files in the 'd' directory starting with 'hd1996' to '[link|http://ubersoft.net/comic/hd/archives/1996'|http://ubersoft.net/...hd/archives/1996'] "

would I just drop the "$1", i.e.

RedirectMatch 301 /d/hd1996(.*)\\.html$ [link|http://ubersoft.net/comic/hd/archives/1996|http://ubersoft.net/.../hd/archives/1996]

... and if I did that would it be appropriate to use the 301, or would it be more accurate to use one of the other redirect #'s?

I'm pretty new at this... the stuff I've googled doesn't quite cover it, or the conversations and explanations assume a much higher familiarity with the subject than I have... and the apache documentation, unfortunately, is rather like reading sanskrit.

Looks like it. According to current Apache docs:

[link|http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_alias.html#redirectmatch|apache 1.3 mod_alias docs]

RedirectMatch (.*)\\.gif$ [link|http://www.anotherserver.com$1.jpg|http://www.anotherserver.com$1.jpg]

Just add the parts you need.

But it appears you are good. Nothing a test wouldn't fix.

That sounds like a venereal disease.
