mod_rewrite noob

[apparition]

Background:

My ultimate goal is to have IIS serve ASPs and Apache serve everything else on a NT4 box. IIS listens on port 81 and Apache is on port 80 of the same IP.

I'm trying to use mod_rewrite in Apache to change to url to port 81 if it has ".asp" in it. I don't think I'm understanding how RewriteCond and RewriteRule are supposed to work. Also, I know almost nothing about regular expressions so as you can imagine I'm getting pretty frustrated.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond ^%{REQUEST_FILENAME}$ ^asp$
RewriteRule <I have no clue about this one>

Could someone explain this a little or give me a good example for my situation? The language on the Apache site is not very easy to understand and I'm getting nowhere.

Thanks in advance for any help...

Well, I haven't fixed my problem yet but I did find a cool tutorial on mod_rewrite for any future mod_rewrite noobs reading this. Its not as through but a whole lot easier to understand than Apache's documentation and examples.
