Permalinks

Hello everyone

I have here a problem that I don’t know if it’s possible to fix without changing the system of my blog.

Right now I do have this permalink:
/blog/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/

As you can see I forced /blog into my url to mean that is my blog
But right now I have another post_type called PRESS

Blog is not a post type it’s the normal post system from wordpress and Press was created thru the new system post_type

So my silly question is
Is it possible to create 2 permalinks like:
/blog/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/
and
/press/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/

At the same time???
Right now all that I got was:
/blog/press/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/
Using: custom-post-permalinks plugin and that is not what I want.

I tried to use RewriteRules on my htaccess to remove blog from my url but for some reason it is ignored totaly… doesn’t do a thing
This is one exemplo of what I tried:
RewriteRule ^blog http://www.google.com [L,R=301]
just to see if it was working and when I access my site http://mysite/blog it never redirects.

Anyone have any clue if this is possible… or not?

Thanks,
Thiago Cruz
