and:

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/forums/$1 [R=301,L]

iojam, thanks that code worked. But my situation is slightly different in that I have two different domains (.com and .net) pointing to the same site and don't want them to rewrite the domain.

Sign up and post your issue in the new topics forum (new users can only post in that section until they are approved). Post a link in your question to my similar question:

http://forum.modrewrite.com/viewtopic.php?t=23736

and I'm sure they will suggest a working htaccess solution for you very quickly. When they do, post it up back here so the next schmo (after us 2 schmo's) don't have to search the internet and spend hours on what is at its core just a simple question.

aciurczak, cheers mate. I followed your advice and headed over to modrewrite.com. After just my initial post richardk nailed it in one and now it works perfectly.

In case anyone else requires the same thing:

root

Options +FollowSymLinks 
 
RewriteEngine On 
 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.+\.(example\.(com|net))$ 
RewriteRule .* http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

/forum/

Options +FollowSymLinks 
 
RewriteEngine On 
 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.+\.(example\.(com|net))$ 
RewriteRule .* http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L] 
 
RewriteRule ^(urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?$ /forum/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$0 [L]
