mod_rewrite rewrites the url, you're confusing it with the path to the
files.

try setting up a global Alias like so:

	Alias /reports/ /var/reports/

then use mod_rewrite to rewrite the URL "www.virtual.com/stats" to
"www.virtual.com/reports/virtual.com/".  the rewrite above should work, but
the final line should be:

RewriteRule     ^www\.([^.]+)(.*)/stats    /reports/$1


another way of doing it is to just have a symlink in their document root.
