using www and non-www address - how to set-up?

Problem:

I want to set up virtual websites all using the same IP address.  I want
people to reach the websites with either domain address, for example:

domain.com
www.domain.com

Question 1:

Do I need to set up a virtual domain in Apache for each domain?  (I assume I
would just use the same document root for each).  Or, is there a more
elegant solution?

Also, because an SSL certificate is only good for a specific domain, instead
of having to purchase two certificates, one for domain.com and one for
www.domain.com, I thought the better approach is to have the domain.com
address always change/default to www.domain.com.  Then, I only need to
utilize one SSL certificate.

IOW, if a person types in domain.com to reach the website, when they get the
page, the address they got the page from is www.domain.com.

Question 2:

Assuming I've explained well enough what I'm trying to accomplish (to have
pages always returned from www.domain.com, even sub-home/index pages), what
is the best way to handle this?

Thanks,

Jeff
