Apache mod_rewrite / bandwidth

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone with experience of apache could let me know if this is possible:

I'm creating a web-based system where each user is given an area of the site (which they can update via web scripts - no access to the physical account is necessary). Each user gets their own domain name to point to their content.

While it should appear as if each user has their own website, it will infact all be processed through one script which gets its data from a database.

So, my main problem is a) working out a system to do this and b) still being able to restrict/monitor total bandwidth used per month etc.

My original idea was to model it around a system such as cPanel, whereby each user literally has their own account (but where a dummy script is included as their index which in turn calls the 'master' program). But this seems like overkill for a seemingly simple problem.

I'd appreciate any ideas / experience anyone has on this problem.... Apache mod_rewrite / bandwidth

Thanks
Russ
