can you tell usa what are you trying to do? Seems as another attempt to do
simple HTTP redirect to www.askapache.com if host is not www.askapache.com.

This can be done by using third party plugins that can redirect to canonical
name (mod_redirtoservname or mod_common_redirect), or by using name-based
virtual hosting, with the first (default) virtual host redirecting to second
one, with ServerName www.askapache.com and no ServerAlias.
