title: htaccess string query - redirect only from home but carry params
body: <p>So I need to redirect when these certain params are in the url BUT ONLY from home...because we need to hold on to the params after the redirect happens, we do not want the redirect to be triggered over and over because the params are met. Please help, many thanks!</p>
