Description ===========

The alias module is used to specify a special document-root for a given url-subset.

Options =======

alias.url
rewrites the document-root for a URL-subset

Default: empty

Example: ::

alias.url = ( "/cgi-bin/" => "/var/www/servers/www.example.org/cgi-bin/" )

You can add additional aliases by: ::

alias.url += ( "/content/" => "/var/www/servers/www.somecontent.org/" )
}}}

There should be some explanation here about trailing slashes and how mod_alias handles them.
