Well, they aren't all the same, so a better idea would be to help out
your users by redirecting them to the right place.  That could be
something like

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/DNet
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/DNet [NC]
RewriteRule ^/[^/]+(.*) /DNet$1 [R]

The first line says to skip requests that are already in the right
case.  The second line does a case-insensitive comparison, and
therefore hits all requests that start in any case-variation of /DNet,
the third line redirects these requests to the proper case.

A similar technique could be used without the [R] to deliver the
content directly without changing the URL.
