Google Analytics and random subdomains help - GoFuckYourself.com

We need help setting up google analytics with strongbox domains.

Our sites with strongbox have subdomains made up randomly when a surfer visits. I would like to have all those different subdomains all show as 1.

So here is an example:

I want both these subdomains to show up in analytics as www.sitename.com/page.php

sbRANDOMSTRINGWITHLETTERSANDNUMBERS.sitename.com/page.php
sbDIFFERENTRANDOMSTRINGWITHLETTERSANDNUMBERS.siten ame.com/page.php

Each subdomain always starts with the letters sb.

I want the entire hostname and request uri shown also, as there are different sitenames in the analytics account.

Anyone know how to do this?

Can you not include the name of the random subdomain in a variable (in php) for example and then insert that same variable into GA's code?

No, there is a way to do it thru analytics. Not every page is php either.
