| I'd setup a vhost for foo.com and unconditionally redirect:
|
|     <VirtualHost *:80>
|         ServerName foo.com
|         RewriteEngine    On
|         RewriteRule    (.*) http://www.foo.com/$1 [L,R]
|     </VirtualHost>
|
| Just be sure the vhost entry for www.foo.com does not list foo.com as an
| alias.
|


No need to use mod_rewrite for a simple redirect unless you are doing this within an .htaccess file and it appears you
are not.

This will work (uses mod_alias) and has *way* less overhead than firing up the rewrite engine:

<VirtualHost *:80>
~  ServerName foo.com
~  Redirect 301 / http://www.foo.com/
</VirtualHost>
