I want to give certain users <of subdomains on my server> the ability to attach actual domains to their site. What is the best way to handle this? Can they just use forwarding/masking?
I need a way to point existing domain names to their currenty site url.

What platform are you using? Assuming you're using Apache on a dedicated server, you can create a virtual host for each domain pointing to the appropriate subdomain directory. This is a better option that masking or forwarding solutions, and it's the standard way hosting companies function for shared hosting.

Ok, one more problem though, the sites don't exist in actual directories, the are pulled out of a db and created virtually. I know I could use mod-rewrite but I might potentially end up with 100,000 rewrite rules in there and I'm not sure if that is a good idea or not. I don't know enough about how it works.
