anybody out there who really know the answer?

it doesnt matter which one is indexed but only one of them should be indexed and 301 redirect the other one, including index.php etc...

thank you, so without 301 redir i can be penalized for duplicated content or something ... ? and is it in all search engines the same, i mean in yahoo, google and bing is it the same? just cause i have some domains targetted only at bing and yahoo so not sure if i have to 301 all my domains ... but this answer was all i needed already, thank you much!

I don't think you get penalized for duplication content with this issue, SE aren't dumb
but the link juice will get spread on 2-3 pages instead of only one, think about people linking to your site, they just put the link the way they want with www or not.

ok thank you i got it, i dont have any links comming inside only from my servers and i am always making them in the same way, without www ... so looks like i dont need to change anything ... thank you much and wish you best with your sites!

This should avoid duplicate content problems:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.[a-z-]+\.[a-z]{2,6} [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([a-z-]+\.[a-z]{2,6})$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%1/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/index\.(php|htm|html)$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ / [L,R=301]

either will do, but which ever you pick, force the other to the one you pick

this is just too complicated... it could be done in much easier way...
