Thanks guys, ill give those a go. I have different namespaces, nested resources etc so im not expecting it to be straight forward. Its not about keeping the user data in the url, its more about personalising the url to the client so it has their name in it and some branding on the front end. Personally i would go down the subdomain route but the client im developing it for wants it this way. :(
