Dean, in another reply, has a valid point with mod_rewrite; however, my question would be -

Did it work right under Linux with the soft links?

Allowing soft (or hard) links outside of DocRoot is not a good idea, at any rate. I know that Apache's cgi functionality doesn't follow links when they are cgi-centric, not sure about NT.

Apache is a great WWW server, but modifying the core distribution, especially in NT, isn't a good idea.

Anyways, if I remember correctly, all you need to do is turn on WWW-centric shares for the content you wish to share. I have never gotten Apache to follow a link on NT. But, I do use Unix servers more, so there may be another way...

HTH,
