Hi all, a little off topic, but was wondering what the best way is to  
re-write incoming requests so that they all end up at the same domain.  
For example, if I had:  
my\_domain.net  
my\_domain.com  
my\_domain.org

Whats the best way to map/redirect all of these to  
www.my\_domain.com

?

I know its possible, just not sure what to add for rules/virtual hosts  
in my apache config.

Thanks for the help!

Wouldn’t this be a simple dns config? Since they are different domains  
just have all the domains point to the same ip address of the server.

Well currently they all do point to the same IP address, and it works.  
My point was though to have the URL re-written to show a constant  
address no matter how they come to the site.

RewriteCond %{HTTP\_HOST} !^(._)my\_domain.com$ [NC]  
RewriteRule (._) http://%1my\_domain.com/$1 [R]

The entire world should just instantaneously forget that the “www.”
