Redirect requests only if the file is not found?

Question

I\'m hoping there is a way to do this with mod_rewrite and Apache, but maybe there is another way to consider too.

On my site, I have directories set up for re-skinn

I think you want something along these lines:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}clients/$1/$2 -f
RewriteRule ^clients/([^/]+)/(.*)$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}clients/$1/$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^clients/([^/]+)/(.*)$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}$2 [L]
