It is easy enough to populate the directory with sym links (ln -s...).  Unfortunately, apache does not pick up on the link to deliver the file when the hypertext is selected.  I tested the failure by placeing a real file in the document root.  The real file works.  Any symbolic link fails.  I know the symbolic links are good as I can can ls -l symlink_file and get the file statistics.

Do you have "Options FollowSymLinks" set?
