Eh? This is only the usual rewrite so TYPO3 get's called at all. Something 
similar is needed for Real URL.

The point is that a single page may called via a number of names. There is 
a hook in TYPO3 to get the page id from the URL given. As I have said this 
is not a probem for standard URLs and simulate static ones, because all 
necessary info is in the URL itself. If this is enough for you then you are 
nearly done.
