Default Re: mod_rewrite and keeping URL arguments

Hi Davide,

The problem with that is, that I already am getting some traffic from
google, and I want people who click on links like:

http://domain.com/index.php?args=123

To get the URL in their browser as:

http://www.domain.com/index.php?args=123

I have 4 <VirtualHost> directives: domain.com; domain2.com; www.domain.com;
www.domain2.com; all identical except for the ServerName... Thus to do this,
I think I'm going to need to use mod_rewrite directives in an .htaccess file
at the root of my web-space... I want all these domains to be re-written to
a single domain (www.domain.com), and preserve all the arguments on the URL
they followed... Am I correct in assuming that mod_rewrite is the best tool
for the job in this case? If not, can anyone suggest better way?

Thanks again..

Aidan
