Why does the preview need to sit under their domain name? If that's really what you want then you have no option but to do something very very clunky with their hosts file, or take over their DNS lookup which is just pure evil and will have huge side effects and security implications. Why can't you simply set the virtual host for their site so it responds to two domain names. Firstly their actual domain name, and secondly something like theirdomain.com.preview.techsware.in (this would be *.preview.techsware.in in your zone file). That way they just need to visit http://theirdomain.com.preview.techsware.in/ and they'll see their website.
