I agree, but Tom's answer was more than simply RTFM. It was 'this is the
part of the voodoo you have misunderstood, and here is the part of the
manual which will help you to understand how this voodoo works.'

No better.

The reason why it won't work is because, as several posters (including Tom)
have already mentioned, the _RewriteRule_ will NOT be aware of the
hostname. It matches everything AFTER the hostname.
As Tom correctly stated, YOU WILL NEED A RewriteCond to match any
hostnames.
So as a first step I would respectfully suggest you add a RewriteCond
directive immediately preceding your RewriteRule, as follows:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain.ext$
Then carry on with your RewriteRule voodoo, taking care to note that you
CAN NOT use the domain name in a RewriteRule. Note that the HTTP_HOST
variable is available for your use on the right hand side of your
RewriteRule.
