Hi,  is there anyway I can redirect a user who has forgotten to enter
the www part at the beginning of a URL?

i.e I want to direct a user to the same content whether they enter
mysite.com or www.mysite.com

I'm using name-based virtual hosting and any help would be
appreciated.

Regards
Chris

First things first, both names has to resolve over DNS to the same IP.

I'm using a rewrite in the _default_ virtual host:
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond     %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www)\.
    RewriteCond     %{HTTP_HOST}  ^([^\.]+\.)?([^\.]+\.[^\.]+)$
    RewriteRule     (.*)  http://www.%2$1?d=1     [R=301,QSA,L]

The 'd=1' is only a reference logged with the redirected request by the
proper vhost.
( 'Using another Rewrite at the same vhost to take care of spelling errors
... like www.misite.com or www.myside.com and adds 'd=2' as marker )

For the default vhost you may want to append the host name to the log
    LogFormat "%h %l %u ....... \"%{host}i\"" combined-host
