There is something about this in settings.php 
(sites/default/settings.php).  Search for "base url", or check around line 
108 or so.

One way I have handled this issue, is to create an apache virtual host for 
"www.site.com", which just contains a rewriterule to "site.com", and 
passes any elements passed in the URL, such that "www.site.com/node/45" 
redirects to "site.com/node/45".
That has worked well, but it results in more redirects than you probably 
want, so better to solve the overall problem.
