Try this:

<VirtualHost 123.456.789.0>
         ServerAdmin webmaster@somedomain.com
         DocumentRoot /path/to/html/root
         ServerName somedomain.com
         ErrorLog logs/somedomain_error_log
         CustomLog logs/somedomain_access_log common
         CustomLog logs/somedomain_agent_log agent
         CustomLog logs/somedomain_referer_log referer
         ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/path/to/cgi-bin/"
         RewriteEngine On
         RewriteRule ^$ /cgi-bin/vlink/index.html [PT,L]
         RewriteRule ^/$ /cgi-bin/vlink/index.html [PT,L]
         RewriteRule ^/index\.html$ /cgi-bin/vlink/index.html [PT,L]
         RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/vlink/.* - [PT,L]
         RewriteRule ^/.*images/.* - [PT,L]
         RewriteRule ^/(.*) /cgi-bin/vlink/$1 [PT,L]
</VirtualHost>


Good luck!
