Does anyone know the best way to handle arbitrary sub domains based on  
user selection RESTfully?

In other words, in our app we’re going to let the user select a sub  
domain, and need that to resolve to our main Rails app and use that as  
the key for their account. Navigating to the subdomain  
([userselected.oururl.com](http://userselected.oururl.com)) will call the show action of the account  
controller.

And we’re going to be using RESTful routes as well. Is there a plugin  
perhaps? The request\_routing plugin doesn’t seem to work with REST, and  
I’m not sure if that’s the best fit for this.

Thanks for any help.
