I posted this by accident on the isapi 3.0 forum. It should have gone on the isapi 2.0 form. So here is my question again:

We have two domains set up on the same server. One is our live or production system www.lovetoescape.com. The other is a test version that we use to test software just before putting it live. This is www.uat.lovetoescape.com. We have been using this test environment to test out Isapi rules before migrating them to production. We have now tested this to our satisfaction on the test environment, however when we applied the rules to production, they do not work and we are getting page now found errors. An example of one such rule which works in test but not in live is:

RewriteRule ^/rrps/holiday_property/.*-([0-9-]+)\.html$ /rrps/rerlgitem.cfm?rerlstid=$1 [L]

You will see that www.uat.lovetoescape.com/rrps/holiday_property/ac-26.html works (albeit with errors on the page - this is due to relative rather than absolute links which we intend to fix). On the other hand http://www.lovetoescape.com/rrps/holiday_property/ac-26.html just gives us Page Cannot Be Found. Yet it is an identical rule. Any ideas where I am going wrong as this is delaying our roll-out of this very good solution to our dynamic url issues.
