I'd have thought that you should do this by changing the VirtualHost
setup instead of mod_rewrite, 

from http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html 

"Many servers want to be accessible by more than one name. This is
possible with the ServerAlias directive, placed inside the <VirtualHost>
section. For example in the first <VirtualHost> block above, the
ServerAlias directive indicates that the listed names are other names
which people can use to see that same web site:

ServerAlias domain.tld *.domain.tld 

then requests for all hosts in the domain.tld domain will be served by
the www.domain.tld virtual host. The wildcard characters * and ? can be
used to match names."
