URL Rewrite subdomain with wildcards to home page

Hi, I have searched all over and cannot find the solution, so maybe you guys can help. I am using URL Rewrite...I have many old urls like http://archives.cancunandrivieramaya.com/archives/cancun.cgi/md/read/id/xxxx that I want to redirect to the home page http://www.cancunandrivieramaya.com.

Code:

<rule name="Redirect archives" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^archives.cancunandrivieramaya.com/archives/(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" />
<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.cancunandrivieramaya.com/{R:1}" />
</rule>

However this does not work. Am I missing something? The subdomain named "archives" does not exist on the new Winhost server. I think the problem I have is that I am trying to redirect a subdomain with wildcards. Any help would be very much appreciated.

 

Fixed!

You were right! Thanks to this article by Altaf Khatri http://www.altafkhatri.com/Technical/Configure/How-to-publish-or-host-subdomain-on-Winhostcom/Solution-resolution I was able to follow his step-by-step instructions for setting up the subdomain on Winhost, then I added this rule to the web.config file:

Code:

<rule name="archive redirect" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url="(.*)" />
          <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">
            <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^www\.archives\.cancunandrivieramaya\.com$" />
          </conditions>
          <action type="Redirect" url="http://www.cancunandrivieramaya.com/" />
        </rule>

        <rule name="archives 2" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url="(.*)" />
          <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">
            <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www\.)?archives\.cancunandrivieramaya\.com$" />
            <add input="{PATH_INFO}" pattern="^/archives/($|/)" negate="true" />
          </conditions>
           <action type="Redirect" url="http://www.cancunandrivieramaya.com/" />
        </rule>

Works like a charm! Thank you!
