htaccess question

Hay, In Plesk it gives me the ability to add a subdomain to a domain say x开发者_StackOverflow.y.com, the problem is that www.x.y.com gets treated as another subdomain. Is there a way to direct all traffic from www.x.y.com to x.y.com? I tried doing this in php using the 300 header, but stuff like www.x.y.com/mypage, doesn't get redirected. Could i use the .htaccess file to redirect all this traffic?

Thanks
