[cobalt-users] A few questions!

["cobalt raq4" <cobalt_list@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I made a couple of posts to the list yesterday that have not been 
distributed to the list, is this really the end of the cobalt users list? If 
so where are all of the regulars going to go - cobaltfacts?

Out of the two questions I posted yesterday I have fuddled my way around one 
but I am still having problems with this:

We have a raq4 with multiple virtual sites.
I want to setup a sub domain for and a virtual site for

- www.mysiteA.co.uk
as
- xyz.mysiteA.co.uk

Problem is that I have done this, and it don't work.

I can telnet into the server using the IP and make a successful get request 
specifying the host in the http request. So i'm guessing that this is a DNS 
issue. Surely the DNS would have resolved by now? To clear that up I changed 
the DNS servers on my local windows PC to that of the web server, still no 
joy!

I setup the virtual site and the DNS and compared it against another sub 
domain site on the box that I setup a while back, everything seems correct. 
In fact it is identical! I even took print screens to make sure I was not 
missing something stupid. (had run out of hair to pull out)

I searched the archives, google, apache forums and could not find what I was 
looking for. Confirmation that I can NOT setup a sub domain with a its own 
virtual site on the same IP as the main domain and its site? I figured that 
without the host in the http request it may not be possible for other 
protocols (FTP?) to resolve a sub domain and point to the right site on the 
box.

Can anyone confirm this for me? Or at least tell me that I am going 
completely mad and have imagined the possibility of all of this.
Thanks all
MJM

PS. Please reply fast and save my remaining hair. :)
