I have fixed the problem, i am posting my solution so it might help
somebody.
So basically it turned out that my .haccess file should look something like:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
## Check to see if the URL is without www part and its not a
predefined subdomain, then attach www part to HTTP_HOST
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^corp\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^static\.
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
## Continue normally with CakePHP request cycle
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example.com$
RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example.com$
RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
The only thing that bothers me on the above hack is that every request will
be checked to see if it matches one of the 3 conditions above but i think
that i can live with that for now.
Hope this will help somebody someday.
Thanks Guys.
