This could perhaps be done with RewriteRules in an .htaccess in /web of
that Vsite. Like have the redirect off in the GUI for the Vsite and then
selectively redirect via .htaccess.

Another way would be to create additional Vsites for this purpose and
let them use the same DocumentRoot and MySQL database. For that purpose
the new DocumentRoot must be specified in
/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/siteX.include and that will override the one from
/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/siteX.

That way you could have the GUI handle the redirects. Still: If you go
for different language setups and this is handled via different URLs or
URL parameters, then you might still need .htaccess files with
RewriteRules that manage this.
