.htaccess Rules
Following rewrite rules will redirect iphone, ipad and ipod users to different sub domains based on the user agent.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*iPhone.*$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://iphone.yourdomain.com [R=301] RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*iPad.*$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://ipad.yourdomain.com [R=301] RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*iPod.*$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://ipod.yourdomain.com [R=301] |
For all the other user agent requests, default rewrite rules will be applied.

I am Arjun from Hyderabad (India). I have been working as a software engineer from the last 7+ years, and it is my passion to learn new things and implement them as a practice. Aside from work, I like gardening and spending time with pets.
hi arjun, thank for this code, I have question how if I like to redirect user agent from specified urls to specified urls too (not root domain only).
thanks for suggestion
just use Redirect Directive, for example Redirect /path/to/file.html /path/to/other/file.html, If you want to redirect to external URL just supply it instead of relative path.
Hi arjun thank for repy, I confused to create it could you please write sample code for this case:
I need to create redirect url based on useragent for the following url:
http://mydomainold/myoldurl/
to
http://mydomainnew/mynewurl/
thanks a lot arjun you the best
use below one, place this in your old domain server
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://new_domain_name.com/$1 [R=301,L]
