This is what is currently working, as long as we have ‘index.php’ at the end of a URL for our admin folder, whether using masked access or not:

Note that, even though they shouldn’t be in there, I had to add both system folders (real, masked) to the list (admin|_realsystem). I have specified an error template, called “404” in the site template group. I also manually added “forums” to the include list.
EDIT/ADD: I don’t know if the “remove www” rule is supposed to work or not, but it never does actually remove the “www”. The “add trailing slash” rule seems to work, though.
