Multi-Site ExpressionEngine .htaccess Issue

I have a ExpressionEngine install, that is running 2 websites.

Since I have added a domain to point to the second site, I need to update the old links: http://mysite.com/othersite to redirect to http://othersite.com

So, even though http://othersite.com brings up the other site, when I attempt to add:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

Redirect 301 /othersite http://othersite.com

to mysite.com root .htaccess file, it ends up causing a redirect loop for othersite.com

How can I fix this?

Change your root .htaccess to

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)mysite.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/othersite [NC]
RewriteRule ^othersite/(.*)$ http://othersite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

You're getting a redirect loop because your rule is active for both the domains.
