Action caching and server aliases

Rails
1

I’m having some trouble with caching (namely expiring action caches)
on my production server:

I have a site that can be accessed by both domain.com and
www.domain.com.
The problem is that pages cached through action caching are being put
into both myapp/tmp/cache/domain.com and myapp/tmp/cache/
www.domain.com. So when it comes to expiring those actions,
depending on how the site is being accessed, only part of the actions
are expired (either in myapp/tmp/cache/domain.com or myapp/tmp/cache/
www.domain.com, but not both).

Is there some config variable I can set in environment.rb to omit the
hostname from the caching mechanism? The API documentation seems
sparse in this regard.

Thanks!

Is there some reason you’re using both domains? I’d setup a web
server redirect for one domain to the other so you don’t split your
google PR over 2 domains.

Thanks, Rick - of course that’s the correct solution.

Be sure to use 301 redirects. Google hates 302.
