[cobalt-developers] Users personal web space issue

[Bigwig Support <support@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Can anyone help on this one? I work for a small ISP and we give people free 
webspace when they get a dial-up account with us. However there webspace 
has always been www.bigwig.net/emailalias, but on moving over to our new 
Raq 4 servers we have been having serious problems sorting this out.  We 
have had to revert to getting the server to create a symlink in the web 
root, for each users email alias linking to their personal web folder. 
 This is now causing a problem when anyone needs to FTP into the site as it 
takes ages to get the directory listing because of the 1000's of symlinks.

I have looked back through the archives and found out how to get to the 
users web space by typing:
www.domain.com/user
instead of
www.domain.com/~user
However I now want to be able to go to their webspace by typing
www.domain.com/emailalias
Is this possible without creating a symlink in the web root to the users 
personal webspace?
