The syntax appears to map a path to an URL, not an URL to an URL.
Here are examples from the Apache docs:
Redirect /service http://foo2.bar.com/service
Redirect permanent /one http://example.com/two
Redirect 303 /two http://example.com/other
You might want to experiment with mod_rewrite in your default
virtual host. I am used to rewriting from paths with mod_rewrite,
but not the actual HTTP_POST. The following rule will not work,
but it may get you closer to what you want to do.
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\.daevid\.com(.*) http://daevid.com/$1$2 [L,R]
My last suggestion is to have a script in your default virtual
host redirect you to the proper path. This could be simple CGI
script or full blown handler.
