No problem :) But see below.

Why /*? Why not only /*.jsp? Apache is much better at serving static content...
Here is the Apache configuration file I use, from a server at home
(hence the RFC 1918 address and nonsensical domain name), you'll
notice that I don't use mod_rewrite at all and that one URL
(/favicon.ico) is redirected using RedirectMatch. You can use this
trick for your yet unredirected pages.
Before the end of the file, you'll see how I manage to redirect
another server name to the main one, it's dead simple. Again, no
mod_rewrite needed ;)
