[Alias]Easiest way is to simply set up a new host in Admin. For =
example:
>Virtual Hosts
>New
Create virtual host profile: Anyname
Enter DNS host name: sub.yourdomain.com
Web page root directory: c:\websites\sub
That's it. Don't select an IP address, just take the default of 'all =
addresses'.
You will need to have your DNS provider create an 'A' record for the =
sub.domain.com and point it to your server's IP address. If you do a =
DIG or NSLOOKUP, you would see this entry:
sub.yourdomain.com. 86400 A 123.123.123.123
Or, if your registrar (such as directNIC.com) will do DNS for you and =
wildcard all subdomains (*.yourdomain.com), then nothing further is =
needed. =20

Subject: [Xitami] Sub domains
I am able to do sub domains like www.mydomain.com/sub or =
sub.mydomain.com. Now of course the first one is just a directory and =
doesn't need it's own IP address. However with the second one I have to =
set up an IP address for it. Is there a way to set up sub.mydomain.com =
without it's own IP.=20
