Rob i ended up getting it working :D

I am not sure about the REDIRECT_STATUS but here is what i do know
about the code

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^dev\.((.+)\.)ere\.net$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^((.+)\.)?ere\.net$ [NC]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt|ZendPlatform|assets|zxcv)(/.*)?$
[NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/%2%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L]

The second line says that the HTTP HOST must match the pattern
following it, it must start with dev.*.ere.net.

The third condition says that it must start with *.ere.net

The fourth line says ONLY run this rule if the following are not found
in the url.

The last line re-writes the urls so that they all go through /index.php/*/

meaning if i called the following url

http://dev.auth.ere.net/this/is/a/test/
it would be re-written to
http://dev.auth.ere.net/index.php/auth/this/is/a/test/

that would match the second condition.

The issue i was running into is when i was trying to match the following

http://dev.ere.net/this/is/a/test/

it wouldnt see anything since dev. was required and matched so it
would do something like this

http://dev.ere.net//this/is/a/test/

However it is all solved now and will work on our dev domains and
production domains.  Since we are using dynamic sub-domains we needed
a way to route them all to the same index.php file.

Thanks for the response.
