redirect not working

[pdeva]

I have code like this

export const routes:ReactRouter.Route = (
  <ReactRouter.Route path="/" component={topNav.TopNavbar}>
     <ReactRouter.Route path="comments" component={cbox.CommentBox}/>
     <ReactRouter.Route path="comments2" component={redditView}/>
     <ReactRouter.Redirect from="/" to="/comments" />
  </ReactRouter.Route>

so anyone who visits http://localhost:8080/ should automatically be redirected to http://localhost:8080/comments. However, it doesnt seem to work. There are no errors or warnings either to indicate something is wrong. Its almost as if the Redirect component is ignored by the router.

Am i doing something wrong?

Using react-router 1.0.0-rc1
