Symbolic Links

Perhaps folks out in the Radiant community can assist with this one.
I have a radiant app under public_html, say rad_app, and a symblic link
to
the rad_app/pulic, let’s call it sym_link…

Okay… so when I call up the site, http://www.example.com/sym_link/
Radiant
behaves appropriately. But when I select a child page the sym_link drops
off
the url… which isn’t really great.

What would folks recommend on approaching this problem?

thanks!
