Rewrite all directory URLs with certain exceptions

[Cristian Rusu]

Hello

I have urls like example.com/123
I need them rewritten to example.com/?v=123

However, I want to skip certain directories from rewrite
eg.
example.com/status
example.com/admin

right now I have this:

if (!-e $request_filename){
    rewrite ^/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ http://www.example.com/v.php?dl=$1redirect;
}

Problem is that all urls are rewritten.. how do I put some exceptions?

Thanks for any suggestion
