Htaccess proxy redirect for root and only root

I am trying to redirect only the root domain (not its subfolders) to a different url without changing the address. I am using .htaccess and redirect with the [P] flag, which works fine for subdirectories, but not for the root.

When writing the following .htaccess everything works fine, but in a "regular" redirect and no proxy:

RewriteEngine on
Rewriterule ^$ http://mysubdomain.mydomain.com/ [R,L]

When upgrading to mod_proxy, it doesn't work (doesn't redirect without error):

RewriteEngine on
Rewriterule ^$ http://mysubdomain.mydomain.com/ [P]

It is important for me to keep the original address in the browser address bar. any idea?

thank

It probably doesn't work because the rule doesn't apply. In most cases, root is not empty, but contains a request for index.html or default.html. Try this snippet:



RewriteEngine  on
RewriteRule    "default.html"  "http://mysubdomain.mydomain.com/"  [P]
