If you're running apache or something else that supports mod_rewrite, then
you could do it using that relatively easily, just take a little regex and
you'd need a function to fetch the proper account number associated with
the "folder" name. This is how the user URL's are handled at
protempore.org.

Run a google search for mod_rewrite -- for something like this, it should
be fairly straight forward.
