let's say i have a website called www.xyzzy.com. I can access it by going to www.xyzzy.com, but going to xyzzy.com draws up a 404. (For a real life example look at the domain the-underdogs.info

I'm working on a website that's set up like that now. How do I fix it so *.xyzzy.com redirects to www.xyzzy.com? Is it an apache configuration or something I have to talk to the ISP about?

Take a look at http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=45759 and see if that helps.  It looks like you can do it in apache.

Apache can do it but I think it might be a DNS modification as well.

if the isp doesnt allow you to adjust apache you can simply set a redirection or "pointer" for the x.com ==> www.x.com

you can redirect to www.domain.com from domain.com using various methods.  If you have access tot he web server configuration and mod_rewrite is avaible, you can accomplish it rather easily without having to code anything.  The server itselt maintains the rules.

if you're web app needs any time of cookie based information (session tracking for instance), it will save a lot of headaches if you only allow access to your web app through one domain.
