[users@httpd] mac reading dir

Working with User web dir of a webserver.

User directory setup is:
/User/username -> /Volumes/RAID/username/Sites/
The connection is through a ln

I found that apache will read the dir if the link can be read by www
but this makes it so www an read the contents of all user docs.
If I make Sites read by www and user home dir not..the website will  
not work.

I have tried are using netinfo so all user home dir are on the RAID

conclusion:
home dir and Sites dir both need to be read by user www.
problem home dir I don't want to be read by www.  anyone know how to  
fix this?

httpd.conf:
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
         UserDir Sites
</IfModule>

also tried
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
         UserDir Sites
	Options FollowSymLinks
</IfModule>

I'm not sure where you got that syntax from.  Certainly not the apache docs.

Take a look at mod_userdir and the UserDir directive, which will do
something like this.

I something setup wrong:

My config:
Alias ~$username/ "/Volumes/RAID/-backups/*/Sites/"

<Directory "/Volumes/RAID/-backups/*/Sites">
     Options Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews
     AllowOverride None
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
</Directory>
