I have an installation where Drupal is in a directory below the document root (apache 1.3?- freebsd) How do I get past the standard index.html of apache to "redirect" to /drupal/index.php? All the while being able to link to and use other subdirectories on this site from within drupal.[I tried simply changing the apache document root but it had problems going to other ap directories.] Also need robots to follow.

Thanks,
Joe

Have you noticed any search engine issues. I checked google and alexa and they both seem very fond of you. So I would guess not.
Would love to hear your experience.

never had problems with the html based redirection regarding pakeranking. i will use mod_rewrite in the future i think.

my pakeranking is *extreme* high on google. search for any word that was in a node title since i enabled clean url's and i bet i will show up with the first 5-10, often first.

this has nothing todo with me but comes from drupal's clean url's!

i once grepped on my accesslog before and after i enabled clean url's and i think traffic with a referrer from google was about 6 times as high!
