Would like to get clarification on the 301-redirect in relationship to acquiring domain names with Google Page Rank.

- I acquired a PR 4 domain name in a SnapNames auction for a client who has a new site, but very related to the topic that we acquired the PR 4 domain had history in (existing links in DMOZ/Google directories, etc.).

- Our server hosts unlimited domains so we set up a new account for this newly acquired domain name with PR 4 and in the .htaccess file, I'm using the following code:

redirectMatch 301 ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com
redirectMatch permanent ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com

- With those 2 lines of code above, am I doing this right in order to keep the quality of the PR 4 domain name we acquired or should there be more to the code on the .htaccess file? ... I think I've seen some examples before where there's a short 3-5 second delay - not sure if that's useful or not ...

Also - is the idea behind acquiring a PR 4 domain (or any name with quality PR for that matter) and 301-redirecting it to a new domain that has zero-PR, a way to give that new domain some PR over time?

Any help on the above would be appreciated ... thanks.
