RE: [cobalt-users] RAQ4 Rewrite rule

["John Cordeiro" <jcordeiro@xxxxxxxx>]

Hey Brandon thanks for the ref. here is what I found:
Virtual User Hosts

<Snip>
Description:
Assume that you want to provide www.username.host.domain.com for the
homepage of username via just DNS A records to the same machine and without
any virtualhosts on this machine.

Solution:
For HTTP/1.0 requests there is no solution, but for HTTP/1.1 requests which
contain a Host: HTTP header we can use the following ruleset to rewrite
http://www.username.host.com/anypath internally to /home/username/anypath:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond   %{HTTP_HOST}                 ^www\.[^.]+\.host\.com$
RewriteRule   ^(.+)                        %{HTTP_HOST}$1          [C]
RewriteRule   ^www\.([^.]+)\.host\.com(.*) /home/$1$2

</Snip>
Will this work or do I need to alter the Cond or rule first.
Also How so I simply do this using Mod_rewrite in a .htaccess file.

Thanks
John Cordeiro
