I can think of two ways to do this.

1) Create two A records; one for www.domain.com, and one for domain.com, 
each resolving to the same IP#.

2) Create an A record for domain.com and a CNAME record for 
www.domain.com resolving to domain.com.

Okay, okay, there's a third way; exactly the inverse of #2; let's call 
it #3 <smile>.

Since I'm one of those who believe that we should only use CNAME record 
to point to domain-parts in domains over which we have no control, I'll 
recommend #1 above.

But either way will work.
