Thanks Arno. I thought as much, but thank you for confirming.

I had wanted vanity.user.com to resolve to example.com/user.
It seems there are only 2 possible half-solutions:
1. Use redirects, which change the location bar as I mentioned
originally.
2. Use VirtualHosts which does not change the location bar. But with
this solution, vanity.user.com/user resolves to example.com/user.
Which is not really what I wanted.

Ah well, my users will have to live with this.

Regards,
Sandman
