htaccess mod_rewrite help

Can someone fix my code please:


RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/$ http://www.mydomain.co.uk/forum/index.php [R]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://www.mydomain.co.uk/forum/index.php [R]

The first rewriterule doesnt seem to be working. Problem is a lot of people might have bookmarked the site www.mydomain.co.uk/ I cant seem to redirect that at all.
I need to do it this way because I'm putting in a rewritecond so that my ip is not redirected.

Any help much appreciated

Matt
