It's got nothing to do with whether it's a CNAME or an A record.  The
problem is you're doing name-based hosting and you're sharing IP#s.

You need to enter a ServerAlias line into your
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file.  See my previous post, yesterday.

Won't matter.  But an A record will resolve in half the time and save
bandwidth.
