This module provides for mapping different parts of the host filesystem in the document tree, and for URL redirection.
Example of alias:
Alias /image /ftp/pub/image
A request for http://myserver/image/foo.gif would cause the server to return the file /ftp/pub/image/foo.gif.

Example of redirection:
Redirect /service http://foo2.bar.com/service
If the client requests http://myserver/service/foo.txt, it will be told to access http://foo2.bar.com/service/foo.txt instead.
