You'll probably want to specify it as:

Redirect /viewer http://thisserver/view/this/page/viewer.cgi

instead. The other way would only redirect http://thisserver/viewer/,
which probably isn't what you want. Of course, I'm guessing that you
use URLs of the form
http://thisserver/view/this/page/viewer.cgi?file=foo/bar/blah, so you'd
want http://thisserver/viewer?file=foo/bar/blah, which wouldn't get
redirected since there's no trailing / after "viewer".
