Thanks for your reply.

If they are not real subdomains, I can see that being a bit flaky.
They are not real sub-domains because they are created when someone creates
a new set of pages. So there could be thousands of them.

I think that wordpress.com and blogger.com do the same thing and Google
suggested that Hubpages.com do it that way as wel when they complained
they had lost 50% of their traffic in the last update.

Maybe the above three do actually create real subdomains on their servers, but I
doubt it and I don't see the need when one line in the .htaccess file can deal with
the situation and get the data from the database table.

But do you think it could cause problems ?

You'll need to modify the DNS records to use wildcarded domains as well
if they are not yet set.
Do I need to do this even if I do not have REAL sub-domains ?

I was thinking ...

I guess I can check to see if there is a "www." at the beginning of the GET data
and then strip it off before looking it up in the table ??

Thanks for any thoughts.
