Why would you have form variables on the first time they hit the
site? (And they'd have to be POST variables for it to matter, right?)
But in any case. The easiest solution is probably to create a
virtual domain in the config file and then specify a rule that
redirects all URL's for that domain. Actually, now that I say this,
I just realized that, having just moved my sites back to an Apache
server, I'd forgotten to do it myself. So you get here an example
that I have tested for all of about 2 minutes.
So put this in the .conf file for Apache.
#
# The actual name of the host managing the sites
#
NameVirtualHost sam.somewhere.com
#
# Our catchall host. While this will catch somewhere.com
specifically, it will also
# catch any other host names that happen to point at the same IP
address but that
# you didn't specifically set a virtual host for. E.g. just an IP
address, or mail.somewhere.com if that's the
# same machine....
#
<VirtualHost sam.somewhere.com>
ServerName somewhere.com
Redirect / http://www.somewhere.com/
</VirtualHost>
# Now we do the legitimate domains
<VirtualHost sam.somewhere.com>
ServerName www.somewhere.com
ServerAlias www.stage.somewhere.com

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
