I have a drupal website that is accessible by 8 URLs (the perils of living in a multi-lingual country!). Using the mod_rewrite rules in .htaccess works fine to redirect requests from the www.xxx.com to xxx.com, but can I add extra mod_rewrite rules to also redirect the other url's to the main one? If so, do I just put them one after another in the .htaccess file? Should I even be bothering to do this (from the point of view of SEO etc), or should I just leave it as it is?

If i were you then I will simply go to Domain control panel of each Domain which needed to be redirected to the main website and set the redirection path over there. I don't know whether it has any good or bad effect from SEO point of view :)

From the point of view of apache, it already redirects all the various url's to the same website, so that's not an issue. However when browsing the url remains as it was first entered, rather than ending up as the 'correct' url.
