Or to make explicit that the original URL will be used unchanged:

	RewriteRule ^(.*\.jpg)$  -  [L]

Ditto.

	RewriteRule ^(.*\.)(html|gif|jpg|png|zip|tar\.gz)  -  [L]

By /path/to/root, do you mean the parent directories of the document
root?  No, because mod_rewrite operates on URLs, not directories.
Exposing the parent directories of your document root will only cause a
not-found errori.  (As well as revealing your filesystem directory
structure to a potential cracker).

I don't think you can use mod_rewrite to map into a directory that's
not also inside the document root.  Instead, use a symlink and turn the
"FollowSymLinks" option on.

Added the "-" example.
