Thanks Arthur!
What I ended up doing was creating two more shell VirualHosts that match on
the short name and redirect to the full name like you suggested. Doing it
this way I don't lose the flexability of the default host which I am using
for other purposes.
P.S. What a great list!! The patience and helpful comments I've seen on
this list since picking it up a month ago have been a really refreshing
change from the usual "RTFM butthead..." replies you see so much nowadays.

One way you can do this is setup another virtual host at the top of the
list of virtual hosts which responds to the default address
http://mysite only and includes a permanent redirect to the full
address.
