Re: Apache directive to "expand unqualified host names"?

Hello, I am looking for an Apache directive to automatically expand an unqualified host name in a web browser client. Here's an example of what I mean by this: User, in web browser, enters (these are all hypothetical examples):

    http://automobiles/trucks/

<automobiles> actually fully qualifies to <automobiles.transportation.com>. I want the Apache server to convert the text entered above to the following once the browser loads the web page:

    http://automobiles.transportation.com/trucks/

I understand that one can configure an Apache server to do this, probably with an Apache directive? If so, which one?

Is this on an Intranet where you would resolve 'automobiles' to an IP address?

Thanks for any help, -Matt -- Remove the obvious text (including the dash) to email me.
