You can't use if/else because htaccess isn't a list of instructions. But, if you use a conditional block like or , you can use different directives based on which subdomain is being requested. I'm not sure which one you would use though...

You could also put one .htaccess file one level above the files and use to specify different rules for each subdomain, but make the subdomain directories all be symlinks to the same directory with the shared files.

.htaccess
sitefiles
subdomain1 (symlink to sitefiles)
subdomain2 (symlink to sitefiles)
