Quick question - I know this should be very easy to figure out myself, but I keep finding conflicting information when I try to find the solution, and I'm a stickler for doing/learning things the right way.
I want to redirect all www traffic to non-www.
I am using a fresh copy of Cake 2.1.1 - no changes have been made to any of the .htaccess files.
I have always made rewrite rule changes in the /site/.htacess file exclusively.
I don't really know why the /site/app/.htaccess (or for that matter /site/app/webroot/.htaccess) files exist. I can't even dream up a scenario where those files would ever be applied - as long as the /site/.htaccess file exists.
I realized I answered only part of your question. I have done the opposite of what you are asking - redirecting domain.tld -> www.domain.tld (making the www.domain.tld the canonical URL).
The /site/.htaccess file I use contains: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on

It depends on what the DocumentRoot is set to. Of course, if one has the ability to set it to /path/to/site/app/webroot in the main config then the rewrite rules can be placed there and all .htaccess files removed for better performance.
You may also create another vhost for a catchall for whatever things you might want to redirect there, and give it a 301 to where you do want them to go. I do things like this to force https, or add the www

@kdubya: thats actually how you normally do it anyway what kdubya wants is just not how it is done... (you always use www as the actual site and 301 redirect from non-www there) imo
