Does anyone know the technical mechanics of how a white label works?

Say you own the domain abc.com and want to promote a cam program using their white label technology, you as the affiliate would simply setup your domain abc.com to point to their whitelabel servers IP address or CNAME to it (after creating a WL profile in their system) and wa la your done.

But from a technical standpoint how does all that work? anyone?

The whitelabel server would have a virtual host listening on * (or aliased to *) and as such would accept all incoming requests from any domain and serve back the content on that WL server. But how does the WL server distinguish what which WL profile to send back to domain abc.com? Is there some sort of marker somewhere in that system which can identify all this?

Perhaps when a WL profile is created, does it create a unique doc root and assigns that profile to that doc root and a backgroup WL app monitors for all incoming requests for site abc.com?

Or is there some sort of re-write rule which happens on the server side to manage all this?

Thanks in advance
