Re: Special configuration for requests that do not match any particular virtual host? Apache 2.2 (Apache Users)

I want to make a catch-all virtual host (like the manual mentions below) which redirects any errant hostnames like
http://oopsie.mydomain.com/ to our main hostname at http://www.mydomain.com/ But the below example doesn't work - I'm getting an
infinite redirect from http://www.mydomain.com/ right back to http://www.mydomain.com/

What am I missing?

#First virtual host entry
<VirtualHost *:80>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* http://www.mydomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error_log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access_log combined
</VirtualHost>

#Second virtual host entry
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /home/mydomain/www
<Directory /home/mydomain/www>
Options -ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks +IncludesNOEXEC -Indexes -MultiViews +Includes
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error_log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access_log combined
</VirtualHost>

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html - "If you would like to have a special configuration for requests that do
not match any particular virtual host, simply put that configuration in a <VirtualHost> container and list it first in the
configuration file."
