remove 'WWW' in ASP.NET MVC 1.0

Question

I am attempting to force the domain name to not use the \'www\'. I want to redirect the user if attempted. I have seen very little on an MVC solution. Is there anyway to harness

Answer 1

Although I believe John Gietzen's answer is the most elegant solution, I was unable to implement do to a shared hosting environment. Determined to find a non-application driven solution I found this blog post which shows a good alternative method for IIS7. Thankfully DiscountASP.NET's has the URL Rewrite module available through the IIS Manager tool.

Following this blog post on creating a rewrite rule any URL with www in the domain will do a permanent 301 redirect to the non-www site. All while preserving the full paths.

Thanks for everyone's input.
