Hi,

I have a quick question on Apache redirects please..

I have a subfolder on one of our servers say 'videos'. Because of server quotas etc I want to move the contents of this 'videos' folder to a separate domain and automatically redirect requests so that the videos are served from the subdomain to preserve the many links (external from my own site) directly to the videos.

Will this work?

RedirectMatch (.*)\.wmv$ http://videos.mydomain.com$1.wmv

Thanks

Enda

RewriteRule ^(.*)\.wmv$ http://videos.mydomain.com/$1.wmv [L,NC]
