Redirect to a new sub dir but keep the original url. [message #1708]

The incoming url is for example:
hxxp://www.mydomain.com/realestate/mypage.htm

I want to to see the word realestate and if I see it in the url then I want to redirect that url to:
hxxp://www.mydomain.com/adwords/mypage.htm

But I want to keep the url visible as it was originally:
hxxp://www.mydomain.com/realestate/mypage.htm

I have been using the below in htaccess:
ReWriteRule realestate adwords/index.php [L]

When I use the above I get:
hxxp://www.mydomain.com/adwords/mypage.htm

I have seen it done with perl in the SEC Search Engine Cloaker, but I cannot seem to get it to work with php..

Any ideas????

Bottom line is that I want to
It does go to the /adwords directory ok, but the display changes to /adwords instead of remaining as /realestate.

I have it almost working but I still need some help..please...

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/vabe_forcl_13a_id_100003
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /adwords/?id=$1

I need to set the condition to pass a test.

Here is the incoming URL: thousands in this format
hxxp://www.mydomain.com/ches_forcl_13a_id_100003
hxxp://www.mydomain.com/norf_forcl_13a_id_100004
hxxp://www.mydomain.com/vabe_forcl_13a_id_100005

So it looks like its in the URI...this "ches_forcl_13a_id_100003"
The only thing that remains constant all the time for every url is the "_id_" portion
So what I need to do is satisfy the condition if the url has "_id_"

Is there a way to evaluate it like the following...

RewriteCond strpos(%{REQUEST URI},=="_id_")

In other words is there a way to satisfy the condition if the characters _id_ is in the URI or in the url anywhere for that matter.

The Rewrite rule works ok if the conditon is met it goes to /adwords and keeps the URI attached.
And the url keeps the original look "http://www.vahud.com/ches_forcl_13a_id_100003" even though it is actually in the /adwords directory.

The way it is, the condition is met but only for the specific one..vabe_forcl_13a_id_100003 and I will need to match thousands of urls using the _id_ that will be in every url.
