ASP.NET MVC Custom URL - Virtual Server Path

Question

I know how to setup a route to a url like http://siteurl.com/mycustomaccount/dashboard, but I would like to customize the "url" portion with a custom virtual server path such as http://mycustomaccount.siteurl.com/dashboard.

I want users signing up to have their account "mycustomaccount" setup so that I can intercept the request and provide the appropriate account information. This is not very important to me or the users, but is a nice to have feature.

How do I setup my route map and can I setup the account without a physical folder on the server?
