Copying this to list in case others are interested.

Deepan,

Your problem is in where you put the rewrite. See my suggestion below.

You can't do this from within the virtualhost stanzas, because
www.domaina.com is a DIFFERENT virtual host from domaina.com. It appears to
be defaulting to the first virtualhost and always hitting that rewrite rule
(which is a bit strange).

What you need to do instead is create virtual hosts for the non-www domain
names and set them to redirect to the www virtualhosts.
