       The server will follow symbolic links in this directory. This is
       the default setting.
       <note>
+      <p>Disabling this option also prevents
+      <module>mod_rewrite</module> from operating in per-directory
+      context (<code>.htaccess</code> files and <directive type="section"
+      module="core">Directory</directive> sections).</p>
       <p>Even though the server follows the symlink it does <em>not</em>
       change the pathname used to match against <directive type="section"
       module="core">Directory</directive> sections.</p>
