Where I work (a webdev company) we have a testing server with a peculiar setup. Which is that requesting

foo.myusername.thisserver.com

will automatically send you to the files located at

/home/myusername/foo/web

on that server. Just creating a new dir in the homedir is enough. No need to edit Apache config or even reboot it. This is very convenient for developing. You just have to check a project out from SVN and you're good to go (most of the time).

I was wondering, how is this done?

Also, if at all possible, I'd like it so that I can override the webroot by editing a file in the app's dir (/home/myusername/foo in this case), for example setting it to

/home/myusername/foo/somedir/webroot

But I don't know how flexible Apache config is in this regard.
