John, I'm not sure that it matters but I re-ordered the last bit of the 
RewriteRule to [NC,R,L]

Other than that, I don't see what's different about your configuration 
that would cause it not to work.  I'm running it ok on a Solaris 8 box 
with Apache 2.0.48.  FWIW, I used apxs to compile mod_rewrite rather 
than compiling it in with the source.


In httpd.conf do you have ServerName set to:
-------------------------------------------
ServerName lark.cs.unc.edu:80

and Listen set to:

Listen lark.cs.unc.edu:80




And in ssl.conf do you have Servername set to:
---------------------------------------------
ServerName lark.cs.unc.edu

and Listen set to:

Listen lark.cs.unc.edu:443
