mydomain.com already do this *8-)
A quick peak will show you how....
18:32:26 srw srw $ dig +short mydomain.com
64.75.34.137
18:32:31 srw srw $ dig +short www.mydomain.com
64.75.34.137
So they create an A record for the domain pointing to the same
IP address as the www record - bet that one isn't in the archive
of this list *;-)
Of course the http server will need to know what to do with the
requests, otherwise you might end up with a site like;
http://kernels.org/
http://www.kernels.org/
And I don't think you'd want that.
