What's wrong with ServerAlias, possibly combined with a RewriteRule?

For example: 

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4>
DocumentRoot    /path/to/a/single/directory
ServerName      www.mainserver.name
ServerAlias     www.foo.com
ServerAlias     www.bar.com
# etc. etc. about 50 times
# all ServerAliases could be a on a single line,
# but I prefer seperate lines for readability

# only do the following if you want only the main URL to appear in the
+ URL-bar
RewriteEngine   On
RewriteCond     %{HTTP_HOST}    !^www.mainserver.name$               [
+NC]
RewriteRule     ^.*$            http://www.mainserver.name/          [
+R,L]

# other stuff you need for these domains
</VirtualHost>
