Is there some way to implement that mechanism with
http://website.com/someuser http requests for a nonexistent "someuser"?
What's automounter? Is that some process that mounts a user's home
directory on a remote share or something?
I suppose you could query a list of valid users on server startup, and
use that (via mod_macro or something?) to generate a list of Alias
directives? Or possibly use a RewriteMap to do the same thing based on a
list of users, although RewriteMap can be a bit of a performance bottleneck.

Subject: Rewrite and automount question
We have experimented with using Rewrite to replace /~someuser with
/someuser
However there is a problem with systems using automounter in the case
of an http request for a non-existing http://someserver.com/someuser
Anyone have a way to implement the above without doing undesired
automount attempts of a non-existent "someuser"?
Thanks
