Subject: Re: [users@httpd] .htaccess issue with Apache 2.0.59

Well I got it working. I ended up having to do it like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.nwdyc\.org [NC]
RewriteRule ^.* http://nwdyckids.tripod.com/ [R,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^nwdyc\.org [NC]
RewriteRule ^.* http://nwdyckids.tripod.com/ [R,L]

Making a separate condition for each URL variation.
