Canonicalization: is this the best code to redirect no-www to www & index to root? I've read around the web for a couple days now and this is the best code I can find. Should I include Options +FollowSymLinks? And is this the leanest this can be to accomplish all it does? Thanks!

[size=2]Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
# redirect index.htm and index.html to /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*index\.html?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.html?$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

# redirect no-www to www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L][/size]
