Hopefully there's a simple solution to this. I'm setting up a redirect for old search listings, but I don't want any of the query string to carry over.

The current rule is:

redirect 301 /blog http://newdomain.com

But this would redirect the following:

http://www.olddomain.com/blog/2009/11/article-name-etc

To this:

http://newdomain.com/2009/11/article-name-etc

When I just want:

http://newdomain.com

Can this be done in the simple 301 redirect, or will I have to write a mod_rewrite rule?
