<snipped lots of extra stuff>

An alternative is to create the site via an included .conf in
httpd.conf, if you don't need all the other elements of the GUI for the
subdomain. If you already have www.mydomain.com set up and accepting
mail for what will become www.499.mydomain.com then users for email
would most likely be set up under the main domain anyway.
