You

I think it's better to edit httpd.conf for this:

Go for the virtual host definitions (at the end of this file)

<VirtualHost 999.999.999.999>
ServerName www.domain.co.uk
ServerAdmin admin
DocumentRoot /home/sites/siteX/users/web
ServerAlias domain.co.uk
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                !^999.999.999.999(:80)?$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                !^raq.inet-hosting.co.uk(:80)?$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)                   http://raq.inet-hosting.co.uk/$1 [L,R]
RewriteOptions inherit
AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/home/users/$1/web/$3
AliasMatch ^/users/([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/home/users/$1/web/$3
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .cgi
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .pl
</VirtualHost>

If you change your specific paramters it should work. I haven't testet it
yet, because I wouldn't do it this way.

I wonder, why don't you create a new virtual host and point the DNS to this
site? You can copy his documents into the new document root, toss him the
password and be lucky?
