[SOLVED]: htaccess lingo

[quote author="Maglok" date="1268850701"]Not really, because the page I am putting in front of the index.php is not in CI.

EDIT: Well I figured out the DirectoryIndex is technically working. The issue though is that the directoryIndex is not technically a request for 'index.html', so it reroutes it to 'index.php' (The CI entrance). My rewriteRule knowhow is really crappy, how do I get it to transfer the default page to index.html?[/quote]
maybe just a redirect in htaccess for a empty url?

Code:

Redirect 301 / /somedir/non-ci-page-to-load.php

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.html|index\.php|images|css|forum|xml|vertigo|symbols|scripts|favicon\.ico|robots\.txt|google847290c1a8337c56\.html|wip\.jpg)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php?/$1 [L]
