[users@httpd] help with redirect base on context

I would like to redirect base on the context:

When user access my server with the following:

http://server/outside

I would like to redirect them to another site.
I try the following, but did not get it work.

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/outside$   [NC]
    RewriteRule ^/$ http://server/basic.jsp [R]

It just gives me a page not found 404.
Please can yo point out what am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

The regex in the RewriteRule matches ONLY /, thereby contradicting the
RewriteCond. It sounds like you just want
RewriteRule ^/outside$ http://server/basic.jsp [R]

Use the RewriteLog to see what mod_rewrite is doing.
