Hi,

I’ve looked trough the web to find a solution, yet couldn’t find  
anything suitable.

Currently I’m using Apache, with a UserHostMacro directive  
that maps $user.domain.tld to /home/$user/public\_html

Is it possible to configure nginx to do the same?  
Any hints on how to proceed?

With kind regards,

–
