converting to lowercase with mod_rewrite
I am asking here in the hope that someone can answer... I asked
on the newsgroup, but no luck. In order to completely perfect
our "fake" vhosts setup which uses mod_rewrite to change incoming
subdomain requests to users' directories on our server we need
to find a way to handle requests for upper-case subdomains.
i.e. if someone requests BRIAN5.hypermart.net we need for
mod_rewrite to map that to /data1/hypermart.net/brian5/ instead
of /data1/hypermart.net/BRIAN5
Any ideas or should we start hacking code again?

I haven't looked at the patches... but I imagine we could be convinced to
do this in 1.3.
