I *think* you want something to the effect of:

RewriteEngine	On
RewriteRule	^/$	http://www.host.dom/directory/file

Make sure you load the rewrite_module somewhere in there too.

The full docs on mod_rewrite are at:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html
Admittedly, it's a pain to decipher; see the quotes at the top of the page
