I'm trying to implement the following URL structure using .htaccess:

User sees:
http://domain.com/layer1/layer2/

Server sees:
http://domain.com/index.php/layer1/layer2

Ive managed to get this working with the following .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

HOWEVER - inevitably, this rewrites the URL of everything its given.

How would I add an exception? For example, I want a way of expressing
this:

IF url = http://domain.com/forum/ THEN open the 'forum' folder.
ELSE process the rule above (ie, drop 'index.php' into the URL)

Anyone know of a way of doing this? Can it be added to the .htaccess
file I already have, or am I looking like having to find a different
way around it?

p.s. Its not necessarily limited to 2 "layers" - ie, domain.com/
layer1/layer2/ .... it could have as few as none or as many as 4
