I would say use wildcard DNS which would make a lot more sense
Basically an "A" entry in the DNS named "*" will allow the domain to
receive any subdomain address at the domain without having to
explicitly set up the subdomain each time.
The all you do is just add a ServerAlias line to the account with
the main primary domain that will be using the subdomains:
ServerAlias *.domain.com
(replace domain.com with the user's domain)
After that, the user could use whatever scripts they wish to deliver content
based on the $HTTP_HOST variable or make redirects, etc.
Won't be necessary to setup any actual subdomains
