Domain Redirection

Gday Guys,

I have 3 domains, that i need to point to the same website. im running an apache webserver on red hat. ( i have complete control over this server)

So whats the best way, i set up the main site and then set up an alias for each of the other domains, then im told thats no good because it will appear as 3 different sites, so I do some checks and the www. subdomain is just an alias also.

so doing a little more reading i can set up a virtual host for each of the other domains and do a redirect and send the 301 response. but this just takes me from the root of the wrong domain to the root of the right domain, so i start looking at regex and end up with something like this, on my virtual host

RedirectMatch permanent ^(.*)$ http://healthcareaustralia.com.au$1

Which didnt work, and if it did i would have to set up a virtual host for all my crappy domains that just need to redirect

So anyway, this is about the time i say fuck it, and go on experts-exchange. because its already 9pm and im tired.

Can I do a 301 redirect without a virtualhost for the redirecting domains, and if so how do i do it so redirectdomain.com/[whatever] goes to actualdomain.com/[whatever]

also can this also be applied for the www to no www,

And if i cant do it without out a virtualhost how do i do it with it.

And if it can be done a better way or a recommened way please let me know

Sincerely,
-- Zemond
