I'm using Doncha's domain mapping plugin and, after installing WPMUDEV's sitemap's plugin I wanted to give a try to your domain mapping plugin.
I've installed it, replace Doncha's one, and everything's working fine...but all the URLs are resolving to non-www version. That is, in Doncha's plugin you had the ability to map 2 URLs to a given domain (that is, http://www.mydomain.com and my domain.com), and then choose your default url (in my case, the ones with www).

Hiya,
I don't recall the MU Domain Mapping plugin working any differently in that regard. From what I remember, it doesn't allow for www variants. Are you able to successfully use both www and non-www urls at the same time with it?
As for allowing more than one domain name per sub-site in the Domain Mapping plugin here, the instructions mention the following:
To enable multiple domains to be mapped to one site simply uncomment line 30 of domain-mapping.php by removing the // at the beinning of the line.
And you should be able to add that uncommented line to your wp-config.php file as well, so that plugin updates wouldn't overwrite your changes. That would let you specify more than one domain name.
However, that would not allow entering a 'www' variant. For the most part, 'www' isn't recognized any differently than non-www urls and generally, non-www urls are the way to go. That's very much the case with WordPress Multisite, which definitely prefers non-www, at least with the main site. It takes quite a bit to have it work otherwise.
In fact, I'm not looking for having both www and non-www working at the same time. What I really need, and that can be accomplished with Doncha's plugin, is to have the www version as the preferred version for my sub sites.

Hi David,
In fact, I'm not looking for having both www and non-www working at the same time. What I really need, and that can be accomplished with Doncha's plugin, is to have the www version as the preferred version for my sub sites.
This way, if someone writes http://mydomain.com it's automatically redirected to http://www.mydomain.com. Is it possible with this plugin?
Regards.

Hey Daniel.
Nope unfortunately that is not currently available with our plugin. I believe it is being considered for a future version.
Take care.
