I am not sure if this helps as I do the opposite, i.e. change all
www.domain.com requests to domain.com. I do it two ways. On my own
Apache server I do it this way:
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/domain.com
ServerName domain.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/domain.com
ServerName www.domain.com
Redirect / http://domain.com/
</VirtualHost>
and on a paid for hosting account using Rewrite (in a .htaccess file)
this also works, but, again, to do the opposite of what you want:
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^www\.domain\.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
