Redirection and url rewritings are two different things. For e.g. when you visit www.nixcraft.com you will be redirected to nixcraft.com. This is redirection.

Rewriting url will not change url in browser, instead it will internally fetch result from original url. This is done for clean url or for SEO purpose. For e.g. when you visit http://nixcraft.com/web-servers/1326...-redirect.html this url rewritten as /showthread.php?t=13260 using the the pattern.

I guess you need 2nd option. Do you know your pattern?
