Thousands of Users - Virtual Hosts?

[Kevin Smith <ke...@netsmith.ltd.uk>]

Hi All,

I'm a newbie to the list but not to Apache, well not quite anyway. ;)

Anyhow here's my dilema.... I have thousands of users that I would like to setup with individual web accounts.

What I mean by this is, they all have their own domain name, which filters through to one IP address only.  Is there anyway of setting the httpd.conf file (perhaps using VirtualHosts configs) where I do not have thousands of VirtualHosts directives?

 ie. Apache can take the domain name that was called and use this for selecting the correct htdocs directory for that user?

Any ideas, or am I asking for the impossible?

Thanks,

Kevin Smith

Indeed there is:
