    Its called wildcarded subdomains...
    Done by adding the following DNS record:
    *.mysite.com. A ipnum.ipnum.ipnum.ipnum

    To handle those wildcarded subdomains, you can use by example this php script.
    <?
$host = $HTTP_HOST; 
$names = explode(".", $host); 
foreach($names as $name) { 
// change "domain" to your domain and "com" to your TLD.
if($name == "www" or $name == "domain" or $name == "com") { 
continue; 
} 
else { 
$actual_name = $name; 
} 

// $actual_name contains the subdomain.
    PHP:
    Cheers!
