I assume www.mydomain.com resolves to an IP. If not, use whois and make
sure that you are authoritative for it.
Does the BIND zone file for mydomain.com have an IP assigned (A) for
mydomain.com?
And then (if you are using Apache), look at using the ServerAlias and
ServerName directives.
(It would be easier if you would use real domain names. Especially since
we may be able to find the problems for you. Also, you used two different
domain name examples and I am a little unclear.)
