Thanks Jason, that works. My next question is, why?

Changing the re-write flag from last to passthrough makes all the difference but
does it have performane or security implications? It seems to take a little
while to process the rewrite on my stand alone system and I'm worried that I
might bring a production server to a halt using it.

Thanks,
