Personalized homepage

Hi,

I want something called Personalized URL, so that if a user "Sam" types www.mydomain.com/sam, he gets his page and say if some other user "Nancy" types www.mydomain.com/nancy , she gets her own page.

The personal web pages simply show information about that user and those information are pulled from a database. Also we might run up with tens of thousands of such users, it is not possible to have all those entries in virtual host.

So, I am just wondering if there is a way (by .htaccess file or whatever) so that, the URL gets rewritten to www.mydomain.com/index.cfm?name=nancy and so on ? This way, the details of the user will be pulled later by that cfm file and their information gets displayed.

How do I implement it ? I am totally
