Split-Brain DNS - External Website .htaccess

Hi Spiceworks,

I know there’s a lot of topics on this issue already but just wanted a simply stated topic since it’s proving hard to find if a webdeveloper forces non www to the www version using htaccess redirects will that work?

Our internal domain is domain.tld as is our external website currently.

Thanks,

Andrew

Yup, should work. Would look a little something like this:

#Force non-www:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
