HTTP Status Codes in .htaccess

 I'm wondering how one would send an HTTP status code through a .htaccess file (or if it is even possible).

I have a file located at policies.php. For the sake of using friendly URIs, I have used mod_rewrite in my .htaccess file to redirect "sitename/policy/" to policies.php. Now, however, I want to change that so mod_rewrite will redirect "sitename/fleetlaw/" to policies.php.

Now, I know that I can set that up easily without doing anything else. However, I'd like to also set it up so when a client accesses "sitename/policy/" they will be directed to policies.php and get a 301 (Moved Permanently) status code.

Is there some way to do this in .htaccess? I'm thinking putting something in:
Code:
 
<Directory /policy>
#code goes here
</Directory>


I'm just not sure what sort of code would accomplish my objective (to generate a 301 HTTP Status code).

 Redirect permanent sitename/policy/ http://host.com/path_to/policy.php

might work, unless you mean your domain by "sitename", then it's

Redirect permanent /policy/ http://host.com/path_to/policy.php
