It's probably better for your webserver to simply do:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName dag.wieers.be
ServerAlias www.dag.wieers.com www.dag.wieers.be
Redirect Permanent / http://dag.wieers.com/
</VirtualHost>
Since the Redirect is restricted to the VirtualHost and there are no
expensive regular expressions involved.
