If you are using apache as the webserver, you can create a redirect to it:
Here is an apache2 mod_rewrite example:
# For sites running on a port other than 80
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^fully\.qualified\.domain\.name [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^80$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)
http://fully.qualified.domain.name:%{SERVER_PORT}/$1 [L,R]
# And for a site running on port 80
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^fully\.qualified\.domain\.name [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://fully.qualified.domain.name/$1 [L,R]
More Info:

If you are running any other webserver...check it's docs.
