Mod ReWrite -- Allow ReWrite for most pages, disable ReWrite for selected few
On with my Mod ReWrite adventures...
Currently, I have a dynamic page in the root of my directory (shownews.php). Most of the pages in this root level are dynamic, so I have the following rewrite in my .htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)\.html$ /show_news.php?kw=$1 [L]]
So a url like http://www.domain.com/usa.html would really display http://www.domain.com/shownews.php?kw=us.
This works great. The problem is that I also have a contact page and a few other pages that fall victim to my mod rewrite. For example, a link to http://www.domain.com/contact.html (which is a real page) would lead to http://www.domain.com/shownews.php?kw=contact. My show news script then fails, because it doesn't recognize the category 'contact.'
So my question is this:
How can I add directives to my .htaccess file that will display actual pages and ignore my shownews ReWrite Rule for specific pages(e.g. Contact, About, etc.).
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I tried your suggestion, but no avail. I think I might be misunderstanding where that Rewrite condition needs to go.
Here's my current .htaccess file:
==========================
Options -indexes
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
RewriteEngine on
# Block this IP
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^69\.95\.42\.202$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/errordocs/error\.html$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) /errordocs/error.html [R]
# This is the key script of the site
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)\.html$ /show_news.php?kw=$1 [L]]
==========================
So as you can see, there is another RewriteCond thrown in there that I forgot to mention. When I tried your suggestion, I was getting internal server errors. Any ideas?
