Reirecting index.html to /forums/

How tdo I do this in htaccess, it just leads me to a page that doesn't load.

Here is my base htaccess file without redirecting. Please tell me what to add.

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [L,R=301] 

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>

</Limit>
AuthName mysite.com
AuthUserFile /home/mysite/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/mysite/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

Code (markup):

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^http://www.oldsite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.newsite.com/ [L,R=301]
