[TriLUG] apache question: redirect from root dir?

[Brian Henning]

Here's a me-too on this topic:
So I could use this also to take my nonprofit webspace, which is currently
accessible as http://myserver/nonprofit
and redirect it to http://nonprofitdns.org/
which as we have discovered from my recent posts is a named virtual host on
the same server?  I'd do something like:

Redirect permanent /nonprofit http://nonprofitdns.org/

?
