Wow, how did you know about MomsTeam (now YouthSportsParents)?
I put this in there already RewriteRule
^cgi-bin/printOriginal.pl/$ http://www.youthsportsparents.com [R=301,L]
And I am still seeing these come through to the Drupal log.
There might be a clue in RewriteRule ^alpha/sports/(.*)
http://www.youthsportsparents.com/sports/$1 [R=301,L] if I
really understood regular [sic] expressions.

Subject: Re: [development] Can .htaccess discard part of a path?
Nancy,
I'm assuming this is a leftover from the moms team site? The incoming
requests are coming from the fact that Google appears to have lots of these
links in its index still to these URLs and sites which still link to these
URLs.
Instead of a rewrite, I'd suggest a a response code 301 redirect. This
will be more Google friendly.
look in the default .htaccess file for the (commented out by default) lines
that deal with www. redirection (ie, you always want people to see
"www" or never do, regardless of how they access the site.)
Using those patterns should help show you how to redirect to the same content
but without the "cgi-bin/printOriginal.pl&file=/"

The file argument is a valid page on our
old site and is itself redirected with a ReWriteRule in .htaccess. However,
cgi-bin/printOriginal.pl does not exist and I have no idea what it was supposed
to do (well, I can guess print the page). We get lots of these requests for
different pages. I have tried a simple rewrite rule and a URL alias to prevent
the 404 processing, but neither has fixed it.
Is it possible to design a rewriterule that
essentially discards the "cgi-bin/printOriginal.pl" and just serves
up the requested page (well, after its own rewrite rule has worked)? So this
would become
