[Pound Mailing List] Too many redirects

[Martijn de Dood]

I've setup pound on my Debian Squeeze server (pound package from the repository 
2.5-1) with the following config:
## Minimal sample pound.cfg see pound(8) for details
 global 
options:
User"www-data"Group "www-data"#RootJail "/chroot/pound"
## Logging: (goes to syslog by default)##   0   no logging##1   
normal##2   extended##  3   Apache-style (common log 
format)LogLevel0
## check backend every X secs:Alive 30
## use hardware-accelleration card supported by openssl(1):#SSLEngine   ""
# poundctl control socketControl "/var/run/pound/poundctl.socket"

 
listen, redirect and ... to:
## redirect all requests on port 8080 ("ListenHTTP") to the local webserver 
(see "Service" below):ListenHTTPAddress 111.111.111.111 # My external IP
Port80
## allow PUT and DELETE also (by default only GET, POST and HEAD)?: 
xHTTP   0
Service BackEnd Address 127.0.0.1   
Port80  End EndEnd

Apache is running on localhost port 80.When I visit my site via mysite.com all 
goes well. However when visiting my site via www.mysite.com the browser replies 
with too many redirects.
The website on Apache has a .htaccess file which does the redirect from 
www.mysite.com to mysite.com
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=onRewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]RewriteRule ^ 
http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

If I setup nginx as a reverse proxy I don't get too many redirects when 
requesting www, but I don't want nginx I like Pound more.What could cause the 
problem of the loop?
I made a fix with this:
Service HeadRequire "^Host: www.mysite.com$"Redirect 301 
"http://mysite.com"End 
But I would like to know why the loop occurs and if there is a other solution.

Thanks for all the answers.
Removing the space between ^ and http stops the loop but it also doesn't 
rewrite anymore.It also occurs when doing in PHP a location / redirect 301.
RewriteLocation:This was the solution.When setting rewritelocation to 0 the 
redirects are working.
Tnx!

I'll give it a try.
But the htaccess comes from the CMS I use. 
Did not write it myself. 

But it works now. It was the rewritelocation.
