You would need to do some htaccess redirects to get the www URLs working there. If you’re not comfortable doing that then I recommend that you chat to your host about it.

Hi Hugh, thank you very much for your reply. My concern with doing that is that the rule would cause a redirect loop. We do all our development in a locked environment only accessible from our network, so the site is:
http://sandbox.dev.mysite.com/sitename
When we push to our production servers the address is just:
http://www.mysite.com/sitename
If I wrote a rule in .htaccess like:
RewriteRule ^feed/podcast(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/sitename/feed/podcast/ [L,NC,R=301]
When the site is pushed to our production server, the domain is automatically updated, so it would be redirecting to itself.
I guess my question should be, are the podcast and feed URLs dynamic? Are they updated along with the rest of the config file when we go to production servers, or, is the xml file for the podcast static with the source URL if we were to submit to iTunes, etc?
I hope that question makes more sense. Thank you.
OK, so you’re worried about what happens when you go live? In that case you don’t have to worry – the RSS feed URLs are dynamic and pull their data from the content of your site, so once you’re live you can just use the URLs provided in the podcast settings.
Cheers,
Hugh
