I am trying to set up wildcard DNS and web roots for developer

*2.*1.dev.example.com ➞ /home/*1/sites/*2/htdocs/
*2.*1.dev.example.com ➞ /home/*1/sites/*2/htdocs/
*2.*1.dev.example.com ➞ /home/*1/sites/*2/htdocs/
Where *2 is a project and *1 is a username, like this:
www.jdoe.dev.example.com ➞ /home/jdoe/sites/www/htdocs/
blogs.jdoe.dev.example.com ➞ /home/jdoe/sites/blogs/htdocs/
test2.jdoe.dev.example.com ➞ /home/jdoe/sites/test2/htdocs/
I have worked two different places previously where we had something
such as this set up. I did not do it myself though so I do not know
exactly what was involved. I am fairly certain that it was just done
with some regular expressions. I am getting resistance, from the team
that manages the servers that I am trying to get it implemented on
now, that it won't be possible because of missing modules and "a lot
of caveats" that come from said modules even if they were installed.
Does such a set up really require additional modules? Is it really
that complicated? Can't this just be done with regular expressions in
your DNS and in your httpd.conf?
This is on linux servers running Apache.

The way to do that is with VirtualDocumentRoot using the mod_vhost_alias
apache module:
