This is not URL re-writing (which is done as web server level) but dns resource records entry manipulation. 

If you look at facebook case, we have a cname for to www (which could be automated via generate function in bind, possibly)

You'll be surprised to hear that a large proportion of webistes still fail at basic URL rewriting (www vs no-www) - a good exemple, try http://eliteken.com/ and would be (fail to understand why) to a Google Calendar page.

There are people like me who rarely click on link but prefer copy and paste URL in short version without http:// and www

Nonetheless, I don't do URL rewriting for nth level subdomain...

URL rewriting ?

Hi Skunks. I'm just curious as to how you can use multiple WWW portions of the url to access sites like facebook e.g.

http://www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.facebook.com/

works the same as:

http://www.facebook.com/

but the same doesn't apply to other websites.
