You need to get a firm grip on the difference between mod_alias (what you're using here) and mod_rewrite.

One key difference: Redirects made using mod_alias will reappend the rest of the path. So when you say

Redirect 301 / http://www.example.com/

it really means

Redirect 301 {/blahblah} http://www.example.com{/sameblahblah}

There are times when mod_alias is appropriate* but what you want here is

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule .* http://www.example.com/ [R=301,L]


* Apache says so. [httpd.apache.org]
