Error 500 / mod_rewrite / 1&1 hosting

[eluser]pickupman[/eluser]
Not sure if 1&1 has changed their mod_rewrite module, but I know when I previously hosted with them mod_rewrite didn't work as anticipated. It will rewrite the request, but I could never get it to support clean URL's. The closest I got to clean URL's was doing 302 redirects, so I ended switching the domain to better hosting. I have several other domains on cPanel accounts, and after I took on the work for the 1&1 hosted site it was nothing but problems.

Try rewriting a real file or url ie( foo.html -> bar.html), and you will see what I mean.
