[development] mod rewrite rules question

[Jamie Holly]

That's exactly what's happening. You are sending an internal request to 
another page, so .htaccess is parsed again and tries to rewrite again 
(and again and again).

Here's a simple solution that I think will achieve what you want:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^apps\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).example.com$
#Below stops the looping by making sure the request isn't for what you 
rewrote the request too.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^members/index.php
RewriteRule (.*) members/index.php?sd=%1&q=$1 [L,QSA]

Now in your application you'll have 2 $_GET variables. One will be 'sd' 
containing the subdomain and then 'q' (to use some Drupal goodness) that 
contains the request path.
