Redirect question

[John.C.Kennedy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I have checked the archives since I
am sure this has been asked before but can not find an answer.

I have an application running on a server
at:
http://server/application

My user wants me to set up so that 
http://application
will redirect to:
http://server/application

I have DNS set up and now if I go to:
http://application/application
the correct page is displayed. I just
can not seem to get
http://application
to go to the right place.

I have tried to use Redirect:
Redirect permanent / http://server/application
but I then get:
Firefox has detected that the server
is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
John
