Just specify your preferred canonical url using a link tag like this:

<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.mysite.com" />

You can add it to your home page by selecting "edit" from the control panel, expand "Advanced Settings", locate the "Page Header Tags" field and paste the tag into the field.

Google will honor this tag and ignore the other alias urls.

With the canonical url properly defined on the page you don't have to dance the redirection dance. Google will index your page on your canonical url. Duplicates with different urls will be ignored but you will get page rank credits for all links to your page.
