I want to make it possible to write http://domain.com/artist1 and be sent to artist1 in the artists directory transparently. I figure the easiest way to do this is in Apache via mod_rewrite (correct me if I'm wrong, please :)
A solution where all queries to http://domain.com/something would be sent into the artists directory with an exception for http://domain.com/articles would be sufficient.
How will you access/manage objects outside of '/articles'? Using a different domain name? a different port? the raw IP address? In any case, the SiteAccess Product will do what you want. You can make a DTML Method in your root containing: <dtml-if expr="...decide whether to rewrite this request..."> <dtml-call expr="REQUEST.path.append('articles')"> </dtml-if> and set it up as an Access Rule.
