apache 2.0 and vhost problem, help

Hello, I am trying to setup apache so that

http://username.domain.com
will point to the same place as:
http://www.domain.com/~username
which would be at: /home/username/public_html

How do I set this up?

after reading the docs and google searching, I tried this, but it doesn't seem to work:

Code: 
<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName www.users.tcoburn.com
    ServerAlias tcoburn.com *.tcoburn.com
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond   %{HTTP_HOST}                 ^www\.[^.]+\.tcoburn\.com$
    RewriteRule   ^(.+)                        %{HTTP_HOST}$1          [C]
    RewriteRule   ^www\.([^.]+)\.tcoburn\.com(.*) /home/$1$2
</VirtualHost>
any suggestions? I have no idea what I am doing wrong here.

I'm trying to do what f2o.org and the rest of the webhosts do,
and create accounts as username.domain.com, like f2o.org does

thanks
