I don't seem to have the books in front of me, so here it is.
 
What's the best to have a client's homepage show up with it's own domain
name.
 
Example:
 
   http://foo.com/~fdoe  would like it to read   JohnDoeWorld.com
 
I guess there's got to be some Internic intervension there somewere, but
which files are required to point this new domain to
/home/jdoe/index.html instead of the expected /var/www/docs/index.html
for foo.com?
 
that's about it.
