Need help with apache Rewrite Rule?

Web Server: apache
Machine: RHEL 5.2
I'm setting up a rewrite rule which has the following scenario:

I have a url : devmob.stariance.com which needs to be pointed to index.html file which is in document root.Whereas, in the index.html file i'm redirecting to a new index.jsp file which is available in the same document too.

So, the index.html contents are :

Code:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://devmob.stariance.com/index.jsp">

Can you anyone provide me the redirect/rewrite rule which i can specify in apache which would directly take me the index.jsp file?

currently, i have added the following entries :

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^devmob\.stariance\.com [NC]
RewriteRule  devmob.stariance.com  http://devmob.stariance.com/index.html [PT,NC,L]

I have also setup a virtual host which can run on port 82 for this url.

Code:

<VirtualHost *:82>
DocumentRoot /data/apache/htdocs/mobapp/
ServerName devmob.stariance.com
#DirectoryIndex /mobapp/jsp
DirectoryIndex index.html
JkMount /*  node1
JkMount /hottopics* node1
JkMount /mobapp* node1
Include conf/Rewrite.conf
</VirtualHost>


Pls Suggest.

Why do a rewrite rule ? ... just change to :

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.jsp

<edit>just realised you'd set up vhost on a non-standard port.. do you need to ?</edit>
