Rewriting URL on Dreamhost

Question

I am trying to rewrite a URL for a Dreamhost served website. So basically I want to do the following:

• Rewrite only URLs that start with an x!
• URLs like this http:// domain.com/x23 should be rewritten into into http:// domain.com/index.php/lookup/code/x23

Without showing the rewritten URL of course!

I tried this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(x[0-9a-z])$ index.php/lookup/code/$0 [L]

but it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks, Max
