Changing default root web location

[hwy-gpb]

First off, well done! to the creators of ISPconfig. Only been using it for a few days, but the more I get to know it, the more I like it

I have a 100 + user websites on one domain who have long established sites on our old server with domain.com/~username/ as there home page.
the default with ISPconfig would be: domain.com/users/webID_username
So for this domain I'm removing the prefix before adding a user as I prefer the look of domain.com/username for these clients.
To further achieve we added a symbolic link in web folder of this domain domain.com/users/username to = domain.com/username
In apache config for domain.com we have: RedirectMatch \/\~(.*)\/(.*) http://domain.com.au/$1/$2
so that anyone looking for anything ~username finds the new location.

What I want to ask is:
Should this approach work OK with ISPconfig?
Is there a better way to achieve what we are after?

Thanks

Yes.

No, this looks fine. But maybe you can use a rewrite rule instead of the symlink, so you do not have to create e symlink for every user.
