Trying to do the opposite of www.domain.com -> domain.com

[mike]

yeah, i took your suggestion and this is what i've been using, with
the added addition of redirecting and keeping the URI

        server {
                listen 80;
                server_name www.michaelshadle.com;
                rewrite ^/(.*) http://michaelshadle.com/$1 permanent;
        }

        server {
                listen 80;
                server_name michaelshadle.com;
                index index.php;
                root /htdocs/michaelshadle.com/;
                ... etc ...
        }
