IIUC, the RewriteCond in the second approach would make the redirect
apply only to virtual hosts ending in domain.com, but if you take it
out, the two are essentially equivalent. I wouldn't say one approach is
better than the other for a simple redirect, but the second gives you
more flexibility if you needed to fine-tune the behavior.
