Would a 301 redirect work better?

I am not an expert on this, but i think the order based on performance is:

- Webserver config.
- .htaccess
- Page redirect

Doesn't matter much. If it's configured in the Webserver but still AllowOverride is set Apache will still look for .htaccess.

For - for VB fastest would be something like:

<Directory /where/ever/vb/is/installed>
AllowOverride None
Options None
...
</Directory>

Then setting a redirect via mod_rewrite or some META redirect via a small HTML page from the old location.

But wouldn't that make the .htaccess moot then?

httpd-vhost.conf (or just vhost.conf):

<VirtualHost YOUR.IP.HERE:80>
        DocumentRoot /direct/folder/to/your/forum
        ServerName forum.yourdomain.com
        ServerAdmin admin@yourdomain.com
        ScriptAlias "/cgi-bin/" "/direct/folder/to/your/forum/cgi-bin/"
        ServerAlias www.yourdomain.com forum.yourdomain.com anything.yourdomain.com
        ErrorLog logs/www-error.log
        Options ExecCGI Indexes FollowSymLinks
</VirtualHost>

Save, restart apache using ./apachetcl -k graceful (or any command to restart apache).
