Hey guys,
I'm looking for (free) software that can convert my discussion forum's dynamic URL's to static ones. Is there anything good out there? If I have to pay for the software, is it worth it? I would appreciate if you could point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
NB

I actually have a tool online that will attempt to create the mod_rewrite syntax you need to turn your dynamic url into a static one. Available here

This is great! I've been looking for something like this for a while. Are there benefits/drawbacks for each method (apache rewrite vs generating pages)?

Dynamically generated pages with lots of parameters can sometimes choke spiders (though I have to say they are getting better), so a rewritten url with the parameters hidden somewhere in the url (eg mypage-1-test-34.htm) is more likely to be spidered. You can do lots of other nice things with mod_rewrite too 
Drawbacks of mod_rewrite are additional load on the cpu, and also the complexity of it (most people take one look at it and are scared off)

With todays' server configuration it hardly matters. We have a server (not the one listed in my profile) which serves about a few hundred thousand page views every day uses exclusively mod_rewrite for 'paraphrasing' the dynamic URLs into what may appear as static pages with no ill effects. And the server is Pentium II with about half a gig of RAM - ancient by modern standard.
The complexity need not scare anyone as this is set up by your sysadmin. Once it is setup, the developers have to follow the pattern always. It is almost 'transparent' to the end user or the developer.
