Redirect doesn't allow you to distinguish between 301s and 302s which you can
do with mod_rewrite {very useful feature tbh when it comes to bits like this} -
the user is using WordPress so will almost certainly be using mod_rewrite to
handle the nice URLs....
As for the issue without a server name - you don't need one in the 800 unless
you are doing something clever - as for the redirects it doesn't break but you
can put one in - just make sure that it is included first!

James,
Unless the user has many hosts, I would recommend against using mod_rewrite
here. It isn't needed. And your vhost should include an explicity ServerName
directive.
