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.
Redirect / http://mysite.example.org/

I have a box running mediawiki and am now using virtual hosts on it to 
enable me to have a test version of the site running on port 8080. What
is 
the "proper" way to force visitors to use the full server dns name? So,
if 
I browse to 'http://mysite' the production wiki pops up and 
'http://mysite:8080' the test wiki is shown. works great. love it. Now 
what I want to happen is that when a visitor goes to 'http://mysite'
they 
get redirected to 'http://mysite.example.org' and going to 
'http://mysite:8080' takes them to 'http://mysite.example.org:8080'. 
Basically, I want them to always be using the full canonical host name. 

I'm not sure how to setup a redirect like this in Apache2. 
Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael
