I presume you mean in the browser.

This has nothing to do with reverse DNS.  If you want your apache web 
server to rewrite the domain name as www.mydomain.com, there are two ways 
you can do this.

Either replace the "Rewrite" lines in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file 
with your own, custom written for these sites, OR (more easily) rename the 
machine from <ns> to <www> (although I'm not sure this will work in all of 
your circumstances).  This should NOT affect DNS operation.

By chance are those sites sharing the same IP# as <ns.rootdomain.com> while 
the others are not?

This can happen, because of the RaQs default rewrite rules, when doing 
name-based hosting with one IP#.  Personally, I never use the main IP# for 
vitual hosting, though you may not have this choice.
