Maybe this could help you

Edit: Actually, I found a non-coding easier solution. In the 'Super Admins -> Domains' page, add both the www. and non-www. versions of the domain, but select the box of 'primary' for if you want to mainly use for www. or non-www. and both will be assigned to the blog.

Answer 2

This is the setup that has worked for me:

• Go to /wp-admin/network -> Settings -> Domain mapping:
  • Set your primary site domain (without www) on Server CNAME domain, leave IP empty
  • Uncheck remote login
  • check permanent redirect
  • check user domain mapping page
  • uncheck Redirect administration pages to site's original domain
  • uncheck Disable primary domain check
• Go to /wp-admin/network/ -> setting -> Domains: Map each site to its domain (without www)

For each site that you want to default to www (except the primary)

• Go /wp-admin/ -> Tools -> domain mapping
  • In Add new domain insert the site's domain (with www)
  • Check Primary domain for this blog

(Please note that you have to make sure beforehand that your domain is working with and without www)
