I don't know what he's smoking, I use a rule almost identical to that
in many places.
Perhaps it behaves differently in .htaccess configuration, which is
what he is describing.
The rule I use on a daily basis:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(altname\.example\.com|name\.example\.com)$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://name.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Also, his point about not being able to see what the various variables
are, I kind of see his point, it would be nice to have examples of
what the variables could be, but you can always turn on the rewrite
log to see stuff like that.
