One solution is to use mod_rewrite to drop the www (with a regex) if it's
present, then use mod_vhost_alias to handle the actual folder/logging/CGI
paths after that.

You could always do the whole thing with mod_rewrite of course, but that's
just asking for a self inflicted foot shooting!  :-P

Cheers,
