You can do it through mod_rewrite or if you have access to the http.conf file, you can redirect it.

So it can be done. My question is why do you want to do it? Generally when you setup your site, you will setup the DNS record to point to the domain.com and create an alias for the domain.com to point to the same place. It is not a good idea to have the www point to another IP address and can cause confusion. So can you tell the reason that it is setup that way?

you could use mod_rewrite for that but i don't think it can be done in a htaccess file if you don't have access to the server config file. the easiest way is to have domain.com go to a different index file and have a redirect there. Another way would be to use javascript to detect the URL and redirect when necesary use this only as last resort.
