I'm not sure what you mean. This has been working for years.

The pages generate look static, and the links in them look static, but they actually are rewritten to the dynamic url.

You don't have to generate any pages, "rebuild" your site, or do anything. Any time a page is displayed, it is *really* dynamically generated, but the output looks like it was a standard static webpage.

d=1 doesn't have to be passed through for this to work properly. Because each and every page is *actually* dynamic, the d=1 parameter doesn't matter. *every* page click goes through the page.cgi system.
I have some old, static pages sitting on the site. Nothing points to them, and the mod_rewrite instructions went to an empty directory, as you indicated. When I reworked your code to remove the <Directory> directive, the site started serving me the old static pages (outdated content was the clue, along with menu URLs that pointed to the /cgi-bin/pages/ directory).

I think I need far more than simple fine-tuning to make the site behave right. I simply ran out of time to figure it out.
