mod_rewrite and host redirection

Hi,

Before I start, I probably ought to emphasise that what I'm trying to
achieve isn't the 'correct' way of doing things - it's a fudge due to
hosting provider limitations.

I have two domains pointing to the same docroot. I'm trying to get it so
that the second of the two domains points to a subdirectory within that
docroot but to no avail - just get an Error 500. I don't want this to be
a redirect which is visible to the user.

How would you go about doing this with mod_rewrite? Here's what I've got
thus far to redirect domain2 into a subdirectory on domain1

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain2\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /domain1subdir/$1

The problem now is that it just redirections domain2 at the docroot of
domain 1 not of a subfolder

In the docroot of domain1, .htaccess reads
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain2\.com
RewriteRule ^(.+)$. /domain2content/$1

Sorted it! OK it's a bit of a ropey way of doing it but I set it up
using the [P] flag

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain2.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain1.com/subdir/$1 [P]
