subdomain url rewriting?

[Leon]

Is it possible to allow my website user's to enter the site using a
subdomain name such
johndoe.mywebsite.com then a automated script in the Global.asax file within
the
Application_BeginRequest redirect the user to
mywebsite.com/index.aspx?username=johndoe?
if so then how?

I kind of know how to perform this task with vanity url's such as
mywebsite.com/johndoe, but not
subdomain name. Thanks!

Set up an HTTP Handler to do this for you. The following article gives an
example you should be able to tailor for your needs:

it done with iis. there are two methods

1) each dns entry get a unique ip address. in this case iis setup with
multiple ippaddress and each ipaddress is a unque site.

2) using http 1.1, all dns entries get the same ipaddress, and a website is
setup for each subdomain name use the host header.
