[users@httpd] mod_rewrite confusion
newb question.
I need to redirect everything from www.mysite.com/admin and
mysite.com/admin to admin.mysite.com. Because several boxes share the
same configuration and some of them will serve admin.mysite.com, I
can't use a plain redirect.
This rule to do the redirect, and every variation I've tried, doesn't
ever match:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^admin\.mysite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/admin https://admin.mysite.com [R=301,L]
What am I missing? Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you're in <Directory> or htaccess context, the part of the URL that
lead you to that context, including a trailing slash, is stripped from
the string you're comparing to.
So if this is in the docroot, RewriteRule compares against "admin" not
"/admin" since / is stripped out.
