rewrite to www on a site with subdomains?

[lbobke]

I want to make sure that all requests to mydomain.net are being forwarded to www.mydomain.net.
This would be easy if I hadn't a number of subdomains on mydomain.net.
As it is, when redirecting with mod_rewrite, the subdomains return a page not found eror.
Is there a way to redirect only requests where there is nothing before "mydomain.net" (or nothing between "http://" and "mydomain.net[/i]").

Thanks!

Sorry Jim,

but this message only explains how to rewrite from "www" to no "www"?
In my case, I have hundreds of links pointing to the "www" version, so I would like to go the other way and rewrite from "nothing" to "www".
Any idea how I could do this without creating problems for my subdomains?

Thanks!

Please study it and try to understand how that code works. It's a fairly simple thing to reverse the function, and you certainly should not use code you don't understand. Please read our forum charter [webmasterworld.com]. It has links to several resources you will find helpful, as well as some important information on our forum policies.

Alternatively, you can search WebmasterWorld for many examples of how to do the opposite rewriting function.
