Arbitrarily slicing $server_name into subdomains?

Hi Merlin, thanks.

Well, and that directory hierarchies allow me to share and mount 
directories in ways which make graphic designers and front-end people 
feel comfortable, and organise large numbers of sites in a sensible 
hierarchy so that you don't end up with large numbers of folders in one 
place that people have to navigate through with GUI tools. It's fine for 
me to glob through dot hierarchies in a shell, but other people like to 
work differently.

I'm not saying it's the right way (or even that there is a right way!) 
but it's what I'd like to do, so if there's a way to do it, it would 
make me happy. :-)

Cheers
Igor Clark
