<usage>

      <p>The <directive>RewriteOptions</directive> directive sets some

      special options for the current per-server or per-directory

      configuration. The <em>Option</em> strings can be one of the

      following:</p>

      configuration. The <em>Option</em> string can be currently only one:</p>

      <dl>

      <dt><code>inherit</code></dt>

      server are inherited. In per-directory context this means

      that conditions and rules of the parent directory's

      <code>.htaccess</code> configuration are inherited.</dd>

      <dt><code>MaxRedirects=<var>number</var></code></dt>

      <dd>In order to prevent endless loops of internal redirects

      issued by per-directory <directive module="mod_rewrite"

      >RewriteRule</directive>s, <module>mod_rewrite</module> aborts

      the request after reaching a maximum number of such redirects and

      responds with an 500 Internal Server Error. If you really need

      more internal redirects than 10 per request, you may increase

      the default to the desired value.</dd>
