The only way that you can change what appears in the browser's address
bar is by forcing a redirect, so the browser requests the site again
from the correct name. If you don't force a redirect if a site is
requested with the wrong name than this wrong name will stay visible
in the browser.
What you need to do is check what's in the "Host" header, and if it
doesn't match the ServerName send a redirect.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.foo\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=""
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.foo.com/$1 [L,R=301]
