Integrate virtual hosts in place of web argument

I would like to configure my Foswiki installation so that the following URIs are presented to the user's browser:

someweb.wiki.alphanet.ch/Document (for viewing) - someweb.wiki.alphanet.ch/bin/edit/Document (for other functions)

this is quite simple to do with a combination of ShortUrl.conf, vhost rewriting, and rewriting rules (but is costly, because the redirect is sent to the user's browser).

In addition, when refering to another Web, the URL generated also requires a rewriting/redirect, which is costly.

So what about a new scheme: - the vhost first subdomain is used as the web name - references to any web are produced as theweb.SOME-DOMAIN/Document (and not Web/Document)

Is this reasonable ? has this been somewhat implemented already.

The main goal is to avoid the browser redirects.

Do you want to disable or circumvent the concept of webs? What is the reason behind movin the web into the host part of the url?
