That's another slightly different way of doing it; that or what John
posted earlier should both work.  Douglas would need to include an [L]
at the end (and it's probably good practice to do so anyway), because he
has other rewrite stuff following, and we want this first bit to
redirect back through the browser and make a second request (with the
www) before continuing.

Yeah, Doug had those in his first post.

Also, if they were missing/wrong the symptom would be redirection to the
wrong place, whereas Doug seems to be expieriencing no redirection at
all.
