You could add gold.mainsite.com to DNS to point at the same IP and edit
httpd.conf to add an identical virtual site record pointing to the same
/home/sites/site#/web as the existing www site.
You might be able to simply be able to go to the site settings for
www.mainsite.com and add a web server alias of gold.mainsite.com instead
of editing httpd.conf. I haven't tried that, so I don't know if you can
have a different host name in the web server alias.

Of course, you could always simply create a new virtual site of
gold.mainsite.com and upload the script there.
