<VirtualHost www.blah.com:80>
    ServerName www.blah.com
    DocumentRoot /www/
    .....
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost www.blah.com:80>
    ServerAlias blah.*  # catches blah.net and blah.com
    Redirect permanent / <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.blah.com/";>http://www.blah.com/</a>
&lt;/VirtualHost&gt;

Make sense?

&gt; The boss calleth on me today, with a 'simple request'. This is for a
&gt; small business site: what I want to achieve is to have any end-user
&gt; simply enter a valid domainname into their browser, then have that name
&gt; redirect to a business website, i.e. they'll enter smallbiz.com, and
&gt; they go off to www.smallbiz.com. Obviously many big sites do this: for
&gt; instance, yahoo.com will redirect to www.yahoo.com. An nslookup on
&gt; yahoo.com will give the IP/names of several servers - or maybe cluster
&gt; redirectors, or a bunch of load balancing devices, perhaps? Anyway,
&gt; simply doing a cname to a webserver doesn't work (didn't think it would,
&gt; but I tried anyway. ;) Is there a simple way to do this? Any good
&gt; concise, favored, resources on the web that address this? Our external
&gt; DNS server is an ancient Solaris 2.6 box, with a really nasty old
&gt; version of bind. In-house webservers are iPlanet ws6sp5 on Solaris 9.
&gt; 
&gt; Thanks.
