Hmm no, point was that "RewriteOptions Inherit" _adds_ complexity to our
issue, where it adds (maybe) other options we might not be interested at. So
unless there's a very good reason (and I don't think there is, in this
scenario...) - it should be removed.

That's not what I understand from the documentation:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect - but again
I may be missing something.

Which you already have at the moment, no? As there's no ServerAlias in that
VirtualHost you pasted, I understood vps.net.bz is on a different vhost.

Not that I understand what's wrong with a one-line VHost for the old
hostname. From some reason I take this type of configuration cleaner and
easier to debug later (and could also very be more efficient
performance-wise. or not. :))

Anyways that was suggestion if all else has failed. My experience is that
it's easier to solve the issue by braking it up to as many probable parts as
possible. Leaving just the RewriteRule/Redirect will tell us if the problem
was with the RewriteCond / Inherit. If it works, you can add more layers
later...
