I'm totally baffled... how do i redirect to both www an non www to a new domain?

I've recently moved domains successfully however what I didn't realise was that there were two versions of the website: www and non-www

I want to redirect the traffic from my non-www site to my new domain...

This is how the iirf.ini file looks like at the moment:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.foo\.com/? [NC]
RedirectRule ^(.*)$ http://www.bar.com$1 [L,R=301]

How do I set it up so that it also redirects the non-www site?

Please help because I'm baffled.

You can't redirect both versions in one statement. Well, you probably "could", but it's not the correct way how to do this. Correct way is this:

1) Redirect old domain from www to non-www version (do this in .htaccess file belonging to an old domain)

2) Redirect new domain from www to non-www version (do this in .htaccess file belonging to a new domain)

3) Redirect old non-www version of the old domain to a new non-www version of new domain (do this in .htaccess file belonging to an old domain)

So here is the drill:

1) This redirects old domain from www to non-www:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com [nc]
RewriteRule (.*) http://olddomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

2) This redirects new domain from www to non-www:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.newdomain.com [nc]
RewriteRule (.*) http://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

3) This redirects old domain to new domain (both non-www versions):

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,QSA,L]

Network Level Solution: 1. Point your external DNS to same public IP of www domain, so that both domains point to same IPs.

eg. www.abc.com - 111.111.111.111 adb.com - 111.111.111.111

Try adding this rule:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(bar|foo)\.com/? [NC]
RedirectRule ^(.*)$ http://www.bar.com$1 [L,R=301]
