Also try:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
        ServerName      www.mydomain.com
        ServerAlias     mydomain.com *.mydomain.com
        ServerAdmin     webmaster at mydomain.com
        DocumentRoot    "/home/www/mydomain.com"
</VirtualHost>

I have both my VHosts set up with the *.xxx.com in the ServerAlias
directive and both xxx.com and www.xxx.com work for me.
