301 to different domain name

using new domain for the same url scheme

[phparion]

hi

i have got a new domain and i want my all old URLs to redirect to the new one with 301 with just domain name difference e.g

(http://www.)myolddomain.com/whatever should be redirected to

[mynewdomain.com...]

for this i am doing the following in my htaccess which is not working

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [mynewdomain.com...] [R=301,L]

the URL scheme remains very same just domain name changes.

any help if much appreciated.
