    I host at godaddy too. I do the same thing your asking but i dont use the web.config.
    I use an asp include on every page at the top (first code on page) However i go from the www version to the non.

    My Code
    <%
    If InStr(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME"),"www") Then
    Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
    strAddress = replace(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST"),"www.","")
    QueryString = Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING")
    if QueryString <> "" Then QueryString = "?" & QueryString end if
    Response.AddHeader "Location","http://" & strAddress & Request.ServerVariables("URL") & QueryString
    Response.End
    End if
    %>

    For you (not tested may need tweeking)
    <%
    If not InStr(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME"),"www") Then
    Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
    strAddress = "www." & Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST")
    QueryString = Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING")
    if QueryString <> "" Then QueryString = "?" & QueryString end if
    Response.AddHeader "Location","http://" & strAddress & Request.ServerVariables("URL") & QueryString
    Response.End
    End if
    %>


    Put this in a file an include in on every page there is at the very top.

    Also i recommend going to google and bing webmaster tools and change the domain to the one you choose.

    I hate typing www. Its just an extra sub domain. I am assuming most people would do the same in the future once they all realize that www means nothing. i am not sure what others think.

    I am sure you can use web config, i have just never done so. I Just pick an include on the top of the page (eg header) and put the redirect at the top of that include. Hopefully you use server side includes, if not you will have to add the code to all pages. The code doesnt have to be the very top, just as close as you can so it doesnt have to load to much code 2 times. (at most the HTML HEAD)

    Hope this helps.

    Edit - also if you use a global database connection include at the top of pages you can include the script in there.
