You simply configure a vhost with the alternate server names which only does redirects :

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName zzz.com
    ServerAlias zzz.net www.zzz.net zzz.org www.zzz.org ...
    Redirect / http://www.zzz.com/ permanent
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.zzz.com
    ... here comes specs for http://www.zzz.com/
</VirtualHost>

If anybody hits the alternate names (eg. http://zzz.com, without the www. prefix), its browser will be immediatly redirected to the 'canonical' one. Note that this redirect keeps the URL, hence http://zzz.com/foobar is redirected as http://www.zzz.com/foobar.

  • @user201078, are you looking for default apache page ? – Kumar Dec 02 '13 at 18:54
  • @user201078 : Actually I did answered to your exact problem but was not exactly clear about this. The first vhost will catch *any vhost* which is not defined elsewhere. You actually don't have to list a bunch of things in the ServerAlias stanza. – zerodeux Mar 04 '14 at 15:23
