Maybe if these 2 URL's are requested, ReWrite to a URL that isn't password protected that can get you to the same place these 2 could? Anything else, Rewrite to a URL that is password protected that could get you to a central point? I am just thinking out loud conceptually. Maybe others could shed some light as well. -Jason
