[BlueOnyx:06132] Re: wildcard domains and mod_rewrite

[Titus Bolton]

You might want to try using some [OR] statements (or use the RegEx or'ing) to get a "switch" styled conditional going inside there.  That way you could test for (\.co\.uk | \.me\.uk), etc.  I think you'd just have to make sure that you're looking to see that the users are using something before the .co or .me, so something like..

Rewrite Engine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([^.]+)(\..*)(\.co.uk|me.uk|com|etc)
RewriteCond %2 !^www$ [NC]

You'll have to fiddle with the RewriteRule a bit, and get the rest of the TLDs in there as well, but something like that should work, but that's just off the top of my head.

That should effectively grab all of the subdomains which they may have added, take the TLD, and their host as well.  If that's completely wrong, please disregard it.

Kind regards,
