Maybe the perlmonks.org folks could point people.perlmonks.org to your box? Or users.perlmonks.org, or monks.perlmonks.org, etc...?

Cheers,

I like this idea.

With virtual hosts you can make this work really nicely, with urls like tilly.perlmonks.org...

[mdillon]

you could even do it with a single, catch-all virtual host, using mod_rewrite.

this just happens to be covered in the mod_rewrite URL Rewriting Guide (slightly modified for the situation in question):

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond   %{HTTP_HOST}                 ^[^.]+\.perlmonks.org$
RewriteRule   ^(.+)                        %{HTTP_HOST}$1          [C]
RewriteRule   ^([^.]+)\.perlmonks.org(.*)  /home/monks/$1$2
