Bear with me a little more.  I'm still not seeing how the loop is created. 

I need to have the rewrite to avoid http://webroot.mydomain.com/horde being
available.  

The <directory> re-write is at the very end of httpd.conf, after all virtual
servers have been defined.  I still get the too many redirects error.

Here's an abstracted version of httpd.conf.  When I uncomment that last
<directory> stanza, things go bad.
