subdomains dynamically
i have a new site idea, but i'm not sure how to do it.
members who use this site will have their own subdomain. i need to figure out an elegant way to do this which i can automate.
when a member signs up, then they can go to their own custom area: member.somedomain.com
the server would be running apache, and the app would be written in php using mysql for the back-end.
any ideas?

mod-rewrite?
^[a-z0-9]*$\.domainname.com domainname.com/page.php?foo=$1
something like that, perhaps?

You would still need the DNS part to resolve member.domain.com to your IP..
There are projects out there, which combines SQL and DNS in order to achieve this, given that you run DNS aswell.

hmm .. isn't there a way to point all subdomains to an ip instead of listing them individually?
in that case, my problem would be solved in conjuction with mod-rewrite
