i've been messing with it a bit but cant quite figure this out.
i have a dedicated server standing somewhere on the planet with a fixed ip [say 1.2.3.4]. I bought a domain [say bla.com] and edited the zonefile with these A records :
bla.com A 1.2.3.4
john A 1.2.3.4
* A 1.2.3.4
now my domain and all possible subdomains point to my webserver (latest stable version of apache), which is perfect.
in my webroot i have subfolders for some 'crew' people.
let's call em John and tim
now their homepages will be :
http://www.bla.com/john/
http://www.bla.com/tim/
but i want them to have :
http://john.bla.com
http://tim.bla.com
i can't seem to get this to work with VirtualHosts but i doubt it should be hard ?
I've tried searching google and the man pages but without any luck

so my question is :
- do i need a seperate record for each user in the zonefile ? (a subdomain)
and
- does anyone have an example how to do this or something similar to get me on the right track.
thanks in advance
Milo
