What is the best to route based on the subdomain in routes.rb ?

There used to be a plugin  
[http://svn.danwebb.net/external/rails/plugins/request\_routing/trunk/README](http://svn.danwebb.net/external/rails/plugins/request_routing/trunk/README)  
for rails 1.

But as the routing mechanism has been rewritten, what is the prefered  
way today ?
