Wouldn't it be "cleaner" to do this in the webserver's configuration?

I use something like this in my .htaccess: 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mydomain\.de$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.de/$1 [L,R=301]

this redirects every request where HTTP_HOST is not www.mydomain.de to www.mydomain.de and even keeps the path after the domain.

Or redirecting without RewriteEngine: 

<VirtualHost>
  ServerName example.com
  RedirectPermanent / http://example.net/
</VirtualHost>
