in the middle of moving dev sites to live server and I discover that the dev sites are placed higher in the search engines than the original site. could some kind soul give me a simple .htaccess rewrite rule that I could stick in an .htaccess file on the dev server to redirect requests to the live server - page for page preferably. e.g no matter what the incoming request is it goes to the same place on the live server... e.g. http://www.exampledevserver.com/about.htm would be redirected to http://www.exampleliveserver.com/about.htm It's late here in the UK and getting my head round the regex and rewrite rules isn't happening!
