I'm trying to configure apache to where if the client makes a request to my IP address they are redirected to my hostname and away from the IP. This is what I've tried that doesn't work:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; RewriteEngine on<br />
&nbsp; RewriteRule ^my.ip.here/(.*) <a href="http://www.myurl.com/" rel="ugc">http://www.myurl.com/</a>&nbsp;[L,R=301]<br />
<br />
What's the best practice to achieve what I'm trying to do?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule ^my.ip.here/(.*) http://www.myurl.com/ [L,R=301]
