Well actually, I had pretty much accepted the negative verdict of the 
Apache and mod_rewrite gurus, and the (understandable) objection of the 
OP to plugin mod_perl just for that, and was think more of something 
done outside of Apache (still using perl mind you), like so :

- assuming the OP is running this Apache on some nix-like box
- assuming the OP's VHost configurations are in separate conf files 
located in some directory like /etc/apache2/hosts.d/*.conf, and being 
included in the main httpd.conf at Apache (re)start
- assuming one could create some text file containing the canonical 
hostnames and their corresponding less-desirable aliases
- one could then create another subdirectory of /etc/apache2/ such as 
/etc/apache2/hosts-templates.d/ and place a prototype version of the 
vhost config files there
- then by some judicious use of a (perl) script running just prior to 
apachectl in /etc/init.d/apache2, one could pre-process the templates 
into /etc/hosts.d/*.conf, replacing/inserting the appropriate rules 
where they need to go.
- which would have the advantage of making this static as far as Apache 
is concerned and avoid many run-time per-request cpu-consuming evaluations
