It depends on each framework and what proxies you are using. For Rails + Nginx this is what I have to do.

Very nice! How is it possible to dynamically create subdomains, can you explain the process a bit?

Point a wildcard A record to my loadbalancer ip, something like *.install.so to 127.0.0.1 so DNS will resolve every subdomain to my loadbalancer. Then I need to make sure Nginx also doesn't kick a fuss about subdomains. by using a wildcard server_name *.install.so, at this point my rails app will get all requests for each subdomain, so I need to check in my app logic which subdomain a request is for and then return the page/data for that subdomain.
