Virtual Directory In Apache Htdocs Dir

Is there a way to have a virtual directory in Apache for a directory within the parent directory? So for instance, if I have a virtual host that points to \htdocs\mysite, and I want to have /images point to \htdocs\mysite\version1\archive\graphics, how would I do this?

I'm having to balance converting an old system to a new one, so I can't simply move the \htdocs\mysite\version1\archive\graphics into the \htdocs\mysite\images folder

Thanks!

We'll you could use mod_rewrite, it wouldn't be a virtual directory but it would give the illusion of it from the users perspective atleast.

SetEnv HTTP_MOD_REWRITE On
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^mysite/images/(.*)$ mysite/version1/archive/graphics/$1 [L]
