Some more (negative) information: A catch-all-rule like this means the stupid favicon.ico-forced-request some browsers (read IE) do will be caught and the regular html-page will be downloaded again. In fact, all automatic requests (iframes also request a favicon, for example) against the root-domain will be caught and the regular html-file will be downloaded. This may or may not be a problem for you but for me all these hidden requests is making me rethink the solution and using a webserver behind to do the actual catch-all. Shame really.
