.htaccess - redirect /subdirectory to /symlink/subdirectory where /symlink points to / -

i'm working on drupal7 multisite setup based on subdirectories example.com used main website , example.com/subsite standalone drupal install. subsite symlink located in root directory , pointing root directory give subsite access drupal core files.

now have make static content available via example.com/subsite/static, created directory static in root directory. works fine.

the problem is, example.com/static accessable , want prevent that.

i tried redirect requests /static /subsite/static resulting in inconsistent behaviour , redirect loops.

directory structure:

/ /{various drupal directories} /subsite -> / /static 

rewrite rule:

rewriterule ^/static/(.*)$ /subsite/static/$1 [r,l] 

thx in advance

is want?

rewritebase /     rewriterule ^static/(.*)$ /subsite/static/$1 [l,r=301] rewriterule ^subsite/static/(.*)$ /static/$1 [l] 

• in first line redirect call /static/ /subsite/static/.
• in second line rewrite call /subsite/static/ /static.

if doesn't work please post whole .htaccess file.
