RewriteEngine On question

Problem:
contents of a directory needs to be redirected to its own new domain. What is
the best way?

This seams like it should work but doesn't. Why?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com/directory/$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

This is working.
RedirectMatch 301 /domain/(.*) http://newdomain.com/$1

HTTP_HOST only contains the host name -- not the full URL, so this will
never match.

Try:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/directory/(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Sorry Toby but that was a no-go. Guess I'll stay with:

RedirectMatch 301 /directory/(.*) http://newdomain.com/$1

Thanks
