The Underscore Archives

Thanks Leo and Oliver - I replaced the backslash but unfortunately it  
made no difference.

I'm trying to think of other reasons why the non www of the domain  
results in a 'server not found'

'Options +FollowSymLinks' and 'RewriteEngine on' are already written  
in the htaccess file - do I need to write them above the redirect  
code again?
