Adventures in Apache Rewrite Rules

I feel as a big newb when it comes to the rewrite rules. Not sure where my head’s been but it hasn’t been here. I’m finally grasping the concept of them. Here are some of my notes and resources that help me maintain some sanity with it.
Shortened file path
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (.*)
RewriteRule ^images/(.*) sites/%1/files/images/$1 [L]
I used this one with a multi-site Drupal setup where the image paths wound up being something such as http://[domain]/sites/[domain]/files/images/image.jpg. Afterwards the URL was: http://[domain]/images/image.jpg.
