We host client applications on our server using apache so the above site/app needs to be http://apps.ourclientsdomain.tld. Here is what i have gotten to work in the site/app virtual host file:

Here is a possible solution without mod_rewrite:
<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
ServerName rootsite.net
... config specific to this site here ...
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
ServerName apps.rootsite.net
ServerAlias apps.*
... config specific to this other site here ...
UseCanonicalName Off
RedirectMatch ^/$ /somealias/
</VirtualHost>
In this way the Redirect only applies to the virtual hosts which are
specified and leaves all others untouched. The added bonus is that you
can avoid loading the heavy mod_rewrite at all.
