Yes. You need a one line

RewriteRule

for the internal rewrite. This rule must not mention the domain name, and it will use only the [L] flag.

You also need a two line ruleset to redirect external URL requests using the URL version that includes parameters. You'll need a RewriteCond looking at THE_REQUEST as well as a RewriteCond looking at the path part of the URL request. The RewriteRule target should include the domain name and use the

[R=301,L]

flags.

This type of question comes up several times per week, so there are thousands of previous examples here.
