you could try RedirectMatch /* http://www.mydomain.com/with/a/long/path/index.html
Being in a VirtualServer shouldn't matter. It works for me. I'm not sure what difference there is between RedirectMatch and RedirectPermanent though. Some erudite person might tell us ;-) BTW, I have an idea that you might need the full URL.. .including the http:// part. But then I could be wrong. That's the way I did it. Once I get something working I'm inclined not to mess around any further. David.
