Is there a limit to the number of redirects in htaccess?

[jimoblak]

My .htaccess file consists of:

Redirect /Monkey/ [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mysite.com/monkey/index.html[/URL]
Redirect /MONKEY/ [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mysite.com/monkey/index.html[/URL]
Redirect /Monkey [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mysite.com/monkey/index.html[/URL]
Redirect /MONKEY [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mysite.com/monkey/index.html[/URL]
ErrorDocument 404 [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mysite.com/error.html[/URL]
[code]

Is there a limit to the redirects?  

I am getting some odd results but it may because I am going through a buggy proxy.  The first redirect line always seems to work.  The remaining redirects do not seem to consistently work.

Why is everyone in this forum responding to me as picklefish?

Not as far as I can see:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect

But note the following from that link:
The Redirect directive maps an old URL into a new one. The new URL is returned to the client which attempts to fetch it again with the new address. URL-path a (%-decoded) path; any requests for documents beginning with this path will be returned a redirect error to a new (%-encoded) URL beginning with URL.

So that would indicate that lines 1&3 and 2&4 do the same and the end slash is not required?

Why not use a Rewrite instead if you continue to have problems?

Good Luck,
Laurie.
