 * I am getting ready to launch a multisite installation of about 282 sites. Each
   site represents one of our locations.
 * The problem I am having is the URL. Currently it is something like [http://mydomain.com/123](http://mydomain.com/123)
   and I want it to be something like [http://mydomain.com/locationname](http://mydomain.com/locationname)
   but redirect to [http://mydomain.com/123](http://mydomain.com/123)
 * Can someone point me in a direction to accomplish this? I have tried using RewriteRule
   in the .htaccess file and that didn’t seem to work.
 * Thanks!

 * This should do it. Make sure it’s ABOVE the WordPress rules in your .htaccess.
 * `RewriteRule ^locationname(.*) http://mydomain.com/123/$1 [L,R=301]`
