Dynamic subdomains for profiles

S

Task: Dynamic subdomains for profile pages (or any other similar /xxx/yyy/zzz)
http://vanillaforums.org/profile/mark =>
http://mark.vanillaforums.org/
Also: Apache, mod_rewrite, configured DNS (any request to *.site.com points to the same IP as site.com).

Problems:
1. Cannot think mod_rewrite rule.
2. Canonical URL: mark.vanillaforums.org/profile/mark <--- incorrect! correct is vanillaforums.org/profile/mark
Possible <a href="http://github.com/vanillaforums/Garden/issues/479">issue 479 is related to this problem

Question: no question, just wonder to discuss.

Untested! Just my Monday-morning conjecture
