We've discussed with Jesse this problem a little and have a conclusion that
ScriptAlias /rt/ /usr/local/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi/
is right and you need both trailing slashes.

Also note that in this situation URL http://www.example.com/rt
(without trailing slash) is incorrect. You should use URL with
trailing slash everywhere on your site and/or could add reqrite rule
that convert '/rt' into '/rt/'.

And of course this problem couldn't be related to the "Cannot find
server or DNS Error" error message unless Web* options are not
properly configured in RT site config.
