Answer 1

I'm going to guess you already have some rewrite rules in place for URLs like http://www.example.net/content/index/mission

You need to find these rules and add a new one which uses a similar structure but 'hard codes' the content/index parts, for example, suppose the existing one was

RewriteRule ^content/(.*)/(.*)$ /content.php?param1=$1¶m2=$2 [L,qsa]

You'd want to make a new rule to pick up /mission and rewrite it in a similar way, but before the existing rule kicks in, e.g.

RewriteRule ^mission$ /content.php?param1=index¶m2=mission [L,qsa]
RewriteRule ^content/(.*)/(.*)$ /content.php?param1=$1¶m2=$2 [L,qsa]

These are just examples - it will really depend on what your existing rules are.
