Adrian provides a potential solution for me to easily set up and host groups.mysite.com with his MultiDomain, UserDomains, and OGDomains modules. I believe this can help in the set up of community and social networking sites.
Here's a link to some basic info in which he describes the MultiDomain module and his plans for two closely-related follow-on modules.
I'm looking forward to testing the above modules. Thanks Adrian!!!

Here are some words from Adrian:
I plan on extending this module [MultiDomain] with two additional modules [UserDomains and OGDomains] that build on the same functionality in the near future. My primary goal in writing this has always been to write the UserDomains module, which will allow each user to choose his or her own domain or sub domain to host their content on. This would allow all my users on Oasis Magazine to have their own personal sites in the format of http://mysite.oasismag.com. There's no actual requirement for only sub domains to be used, as it is completely possible to use real domains too.
The next module I plan on developing is the OGDomains module, which will allow each organic group, provided by the organic groups (og) module, to provide it's own domain or subdomain. An example of this would be http://south-africa.drupalgroups.org, for instance.
