Re: mod_rewrite & WO

I thought it was an Apache thing: modules are processed in the reverse 
order listed in the config file.  At least "Apache is backwards" is how 
I have always remembered this.  :-)  Rewrite processing needs to occur 
before an appserver adaptor gets the request.

IIRC, it is just the order of Add and/or Load statements in the config 
file that matters, not what is built into the binary.  But is has been 
a while now...
