You can't do this, not to my knowledge, but how many subdomains do you need for your testing? Just make a few:
127.0.0.1 dave.domain.com 127.0.0.1 alan.domain.com 127.0.0.1 bert.domain.com 127.0.0.1 fred.domain.com 127.0.0.1 phil.domain.com Then you've got enough to be getting on with. Incidentally, Ruby on Rails allows you to do something like: request.subdomains(0).first Which is very straightforward. Here is some more information on doing this on RoR, which may be useful to you: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowToUseSubdomainsAsAccountKeys On 24/11/06, Dan Bunea <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > Thank you all for the replies.
