global mod_rewrite before virtualhosts

I am the admin for a server that is running over 150+ domains. Most of
the Domains uses Vignette to display the pages. Currently we are using
Sun One Web Server 6.1 to server the static files and use the weblogic
proxy to get the pages from Vignette. The way we have the proxy setup
is to pass all traffic starting with /app back to the weblogic server.

I am currently converting our Sun One Web Servers to Apache so that we
can use mod_rewrite to handle our redirect better along with allowing
for domain consolidation. Our goal with mod_rewrite is to be able to
only server /app/Colgate/US/* on www.colgate.com and server
/app/Colgate/FR/* on www.colgate.fr. This would mean that if someone
requested http://www.colgate.fr/app/Colgate/US/HomePage.cvsp I want to
have them redirect to
http://www.colgate.com/app/COlgate/US/HomePage.cvsp. I though I
understood mod_rewrite well enough to make this happen, and I can if I
add the entire rewrite rules to every VirtualHost but it does not seem
to work when I try to uses this globally.

I have my config files split out by domain with the line Include
/opt/www/conf/*.conf in my httpd.conf file. This does mean that I have
170 different config files.

Here is an example of what I am trying to use:

<VirtualHost _default_:80>
DocumentRoot /opt/VignetteRoot
ServerAlias www.colgate.com
RewriteRule ^/$ http://www.colgate.com/app/Colgate/US/HomePage.cvsp
[R=301]
<Location /app>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicHost localprodapp1
WebLogicPort 7005
PathTrim /app
</Location>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /opt/VignetteRoot
ServeriName www.colgate.com
ServerAlias origin.www.colgate.com
ServerAlias colgate.com
ServerAlias globaltoolkit.colgate.com
ServerAlias colgatepalmolive.com
ServerAlias www.colgatepalmolive.com

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^colgate(|palmolive)\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.colgate.com$1 [R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^globaltoolkit\.colgate\.com$
RewriteRule ^/$ /app/GlobalToolKit/US/HomePage.cvsp [PT]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.colgate\.com$
RewriteRule ^/$ /edgescape/colgate.html [PT]
RewriteRule ^/espanol(|.*|/)
http://www.colgate.com/app/Colgate/USES/HomePage.cvsp [R=301]
RewriteRule ^/app/ColgateProfessional(.*)
http://www.colgateprofessional.com/app/ColgateProfessional$1 [R=301]
RewriteRule ^/maxfresh
http://www.colgate.com/app/MaxFresh/US/EN/HomePage.cvsp [R=301]
RewriteRule ^/app/Colgate/US/OralCare
http://www.colgate.com/app/Colgate/US/OC/HomePage.cvsp [R=301]
RewriteRule ^/app/Colgate/US/PersonalCare
http://www.colgate.com/app/Colgate/US/PC/HomePage.cvsp [R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sensitive\.colgate\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.colgatesensitive.com$1 [PT]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sensitive-gr\.colgate\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.colgatesensitive.gr$1 [PT]

<Location /app>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicHost localprodapp1
WebLogicPort 7005
PathTrim /app
</Location>
</VirtualHost>

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.colgate\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/app/BrightSmilesBrightFutures/US)(.*)$
[OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/app/Colgate/US)(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/app/Colgate/USES)(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/app/Palmolive/US)(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.colgate.com$1 [L,R=301]


As you can see I have several Rewrite statements. Everything inside of
the <virtualHost> works as I expect. Though the rewrite at the end
outside of a <vitrualhost> does not seem to be called. I have even
tried pulling the rewrite out of the conf file for the domain redirects
to and place the redirects in their own config file that is Included
first from httpd.conf and then the *.conf for all *.conf my config files
and no change.

Is it possible to do what I am trying? Should I be trying to do this
another way?(RewriteMap)

Thanks for any help or direction anyone has to give.
