How to do URL rewrite in Rails?

I have a rails app that is accessible through multiple URLs, I was wondering what is the best way to rewrite the URL to use the main domain name, abc.com.

I have a bunch of other domain names like 1kjsdf.info 2lksjdfs.info 3sldkjfds.info ... in total 50 of these kinds of domains.

They all end in info if that makes it easier. I used lighttpd as my webserver, is there a way to set things up so that when the user goes to 1kjsdf.info\profile, the url is rewritten as adc.com\profile?

You should probably do this in lighttpd, not Rails.

It will be much faster to service these requests in the HTTP server before letting it get to Rails.
