hmmm... just out of curiosity, is this for SEO reasons? I am just wondering, because if so, i would love to do this to all my sites as well.

Yes, I am playing around with the fact a site of mine has PR 6 with the www and PR 4 w/o the www, so if I do this code all links picked up should have www in them making my PR higher with the www. This is only a test and I do not know how it will turn out.

If anyone has any comments please post as I am interested if this would help or hurt your PR or SEO.

301 Redirects are acceptable by the search engines , so i dont think any problem is there to use this code.
