Redirect user to different site using apache rewrite rule

I am working on a specific condition on production environment where I need to redirect user to third part in case a specific url.

I am aware that rewrite rule can be used for this case, however I came across Redirect in Apache which can be used if resource moved to another server.

Can any one help me to understand the correct way to do this, I want use for this URL 'www.mysite.com/some/optional parameter/testpage' and mysite.com/some/optional parameter/testpage to redirect to http://testpage.mysite.com/

#With Redirect
Redirect "www.mysite.com/testpage" "http://testpage.mysite.com/"
Redirect "mysite.com/testpage" "http://testpage.mysite.com/"

is this correct way to achieve this or I need to take a different approach.

You cannot use Redirect directive for matching host name in request. Better to use mod_rewrite and do a 301 redirect.

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^.]+\.[^.]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (?:^|/)(thepact)/?$ http://$1.%1 [L,NC,R=301]
