mod_rewrite help needed

Hi, i have this in .htaccess in apache /docroot/dir/

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule (^[A-Za-z]+) ../web/$1/index.php
RewriteRule (^[0-9]+) ../web/$1/index.php

1. if someone calls mydomain.com/something
he should be redirected to ../web/something/index.php

this works

if someone calls mydomain.com he should find index.php and should not be redirected anywhere.
i have no clue how to manage that. can u give me a hint? would be great! thanks a lot

We use something similar on my company website. In cases of a complete failure on the site we have something like:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/offline.html
RewriteRule .* /offline.html [R=302]

This, as I'm sure you can see, redirects anything that isn't offline.html to offline.html, apart from itself (preventing redirect infinite loop).

You could use something similar, only rewriting if if it isn't index.php
