I'm not sure why you want to redirect to a specific version if a version isn't explicitly requested. Seems like you simply want to define a default version that gets served up if no version is explicitly requested. I also agree with David Bock that keeping versions out of the URL structure is a cleaner way to support versioning.

Shameless plug: Versionist supports these use cases (and more).
