Hello.

We are trying to get a redirect to occur when the user hits a certain resource 
(in this case, a perl script). Our previously-used authentication method for 
this and other resources is going away, and the new solution is to pass users 
through a new site which will take care of authentication before passing the 
user on to our resource.

The redirect directive seems simple enough - but no variations I have tried 
seem to function for our case. I am using the general form:

Redirect permanent /path/to/our/tool.cgi.pl 
https://new-site-elsewhere.net/path/tool.cgi


Related questions:
Is there a required placement of this directive?

  1.  Is it required to be within a <VirtualHost> block
  2.  Is it required to be within a <Location> block?
  3.  Is it required to be within a <Directory> blobk?
  4.  Given we are using ssl, is it required to be in ssl.conf?
  5.  Otherwise it should be in the httpd.conf instead?

Kind thanks for any assistance
