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.

Kind regards,
--   dag wieers,  dag@xxxxxxxxxx,  http://dag.wieers.com/   --
