Use the Servername Directive in your VirtualHost section:

<VirtualHost test.com>
ServerName test.com
</VirtualHost>

Your mileage might vary, but it's supposed to translate everything
(www.test.com, etc) back to "test.com". You might also want to use the
"UseCanonicalName on" directive.

FrontPage is a program created by Vermeer Technologies Inc (_vti), aquired
by Microsoft, ported by RTR software to run on top of Apache... It seems
no-one can/will support it, unless it's on IIS. =(
