Hmmm, that is odd, I haven't updated shell-tools in while maybe
a recent RaQ550 update is causing a problem. 

Is the url test.my.domain.com getting re-written to my.server.com in the
browser?

Some things to try:
- Restart the apache server using /etc/init.d/httpd stop/start (don't HUP)
- Check the apache error log for errors about test.my.domain.com
- Make sure that test.my.domain.com isn't a web aliases for my.server.com
- Double check your dns settings from a remote host
- Try holding down shift and click the refresh/reload button in your browser.

If these don't work send me an email off-list with the real host names and IP
addresses for these sites.
