If a user asks for www.example.com/directory and the site's preferred nameform is example.com, then getting them to example.com/directory/ is two separate 301 redirects.

@lucy24 Are you saying that you cannot get from www.example.com/directory to example.com/directory/ in one hit? This is not my understanding.
Or have I misunderstood what you are saying?
