mod rewrite module

I need assistance with the syntax for a redirect I need to have happen in
apache. Here is the situation:

1. Currently users have a dynamically created website. The url is:
http://www.domain-name.com/members/USERNAME

Where USERNAME is their username that is in the software's database.

The issue is, that we are switching software packages and they will have a
different URL for their personal website.

2. The new URL for them will be:
http://USERNAME.domain-name.com

I need to figure out the syntax to put in the apache.conf with use of the
mod rewrite module I assume.

Please help!!

Hemm... I'm a little lost. You want that they enter the URL as in (1)
and they get (2) or the other way around? Or what?

And why you need this kind of rewrite? Just use the mod_vhost to
define dynamic VHost:

VirtualDocumentRoot /where/are/your/user/%DOMAIN

See <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/mass.html" target="_blank">http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/mass.html</a> for other info and
examples in using also mod_rewrite for the same.
