But the argument to match for redirecting is the local path, not the URL, so you'll
have to either do some environmental matching, or put it in a virtual host block
I'm used to mod_rewrite, so I'd probably do something like:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.partnersinreading\.org$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.sjpl.org/par/$1 [L,R=301]
(that assumes that you've replicated the directory structure on the new site)
