domain.com redirects to www.domain.com

Question

have just moved to a dedicated server.. but why can it be that domain.com redirects to www.domain.com?

I haven't done any mod_rewrite yet?!

webserver: apache 2.2

what could be the cause?

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName domain.com
    ServerAlias *.domain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/domain.com
</VirtualHost>

The dns server also only have one A record

* (wildcard) A 0.0.0.0 (ip)

what kind of website do you host on that server? Maybe it does that redirection itself via javascript or http-forward.
@wulluxz.. no because I have replace all content on index.php with <?echo 'test';exit;?>
hmm.. I have tested it in FF but when testing in IE there are no problems? is there some kind of cache I need to flush?

after sperating each part of the rewrite rules into each directory (eg /var/www/domain.com) it helped
