I have this code in the .htaccess file that is located in the main site (i
thought this way, when it sees user.domain.tld, it would rewrite? Now that i
say that out-loud, that doesn't sound right :)

Yes, i have it in a public DNS and our private DNS. In our private DNS, it is a
wildcard (*.domain.tld)

Forgive me of breaking rule #1. See above answer (take me to the main page)
I have a vhost like this also (does not work):
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ServerName user.domain.tld
DocumentRoot /home/<user>/public_html/
# if not specified, the global error log is used
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/user.domain.tld-error_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/user.domain.tld-access_log combined

HostnameLookups Off
# needed for named virtual hosts
UseCanonicalName Off

ServerSignature On
# Optionally, include *.conf files from /etc/apache2/conf.d/
#
# For example, to allow execution of PHP scripts:
#
# Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_php4.conf
#
# or, to include all configuration snippets added by packages:
# Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/*.conf
# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
# ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
# documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and
# run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the
client.
# The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as to
# Alias.
#
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/srv/www/vhosts/dummy-host.example.com/cgi-bin/"
# "/srv/www/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have one, and where ScriptAlias points to.
#
<Directory "/srv/www/vhosts/dummy-host.example.com/cgi-bin">

# To disable it, simply remove userdir from the list of modules in
APACHE_MODULES

#
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
# Note that the name of the user directory ("public_html") cannot
simply be

UserDir public_html
# The actual configuration of the directory is in
# /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf.
