Apache rewriting rule to access non-rails static page

I am running my rails app at :

http://www.mydomain.tld which is used for all my http://www.mydomain.tld/<resources>/<id>/<action>\.\.\.\.

I have the following rewriting rules for Apache2 :

DocumentRoot /var/rails/mydomain/current/public RewriteEngine On

# Rewrite index to check for static RewriteRule ^/$ /index.html [QSA]

# Rewrite to check for Rails cached page RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]

# Redirect all non-static requests to cluster RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ balancer://mydomain_cluster%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QS$

but I need to access my web statistics(written by a cron job with awstats) from a static page which is located at : /var/www/vhosts/mydomain/statistics/webstat

I don't pick up yet what I should modify Apache2 config OR my rails app routes .

thanks for your help & happy new year

You could use the alias module for this purpose. Have a look at the Apache documentation: mod_alias - Apache HTTP Server (or if you are using Apache 1.3 http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_alias.html)
