Please check my .htaccess

Hey all,

I know there are several .htaccess experts on this board. I would really appreciate it if one of you wizards would check that my .htaccess mod_rewrites are correct (I'm self taught).

I'm trying to solve the old canonicalisation issues

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ http://www.mydomain.com/ [R=301,L]


Muchos appreciated
