i mentioned in another post that pure server alias is incompatible with my
backend app due to the way it handles the requests.  so to use this method
would require more work on the backend then i want to wrangle with.

yeah that's another good reason to rewrite or redirect.

works beautifully thanks..

note, you probably want to force the redirect to a 301 so it is flagged as
permanent versus temporary (302) which is the default for better seo.

Redirect 301 / http://www.blah.com
