[users@httpd] Global 301 Redirects

Greetings,

I'm trying to figure out a way to have each of my vhosts do a 301 
redirect upon receiving a request which contains "www."

Basically we want to drop all of those www subdomains for SEO purposes, 
but we are hosting dozens of websites, and would rather not have to put 
in a redirect on every vhost entry.  My thought were that we could do 
this using mod-rewrite and regexp, but not sure.

Any insights?

Thanks.

Really? Just dozens?

Anyway... Sure you could use mod_rewrite to complicate your config
even more -- as, with dozens! of vhosts you're afraid of touching them

But even then you'd have to add, at least:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions inherit

to each vhost.

Now, instead of complicating things, why not take a shot at simplifying
it with mod_macro:
