A:
From the top of my head:
RewriteRule ^http://www.example.com/test/ex.gif$ http://static.example.com/ex.gif [NC,R=301]
or to any file in test:
RewriteRule ^http://www.example.com/test/(.*)$ http://static.example.com/$1 [NC,R=301]
Corrected after advice from Mr. Berardi

Actually the example you have is wrong. You don't want (.*) in front of the path, because then anything like /blah/blah/blah/text/ex.gif will also be caught. You just want RewriteRule ^/test/(.*)$ http://static.example.com/$1 [NC,R=301]. Notice that the "L" is also not necessary because a redirect automatically breaks out of the rewrite rules.

Yes, that could be a problem. I thought that ^ is the start of line anchor and if so I'm having a hard to time to see how ^/test/ could match. Please enlighten me.

A:
Try this mod_rewrite rule:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^test/(.*) http://static.example.com/$1
Or this mod_alias directive:
Redirect /test/ http://static.example.com/
