[users@httpd] Getting blog.domain.com instead of domain.com/blog

I am not sure if this is an apache issue or not but i thought i ask and see what the experts thought.
I have a WP blog at domain.com/blog. I want to have people access the blog by blog.domain.com. I have public dns entries for blog.domain.com that point back to the public ip but this does not return the desired results. I created a virtualhost and give the serveralias blog.domain.com and the correct directory and get page not found. Nothing shows in the error log. Thanks for any help

Isn't the above config basically the same as ours:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName    domain.com
ServerAdmin   email
DocumentRoot  path/to/web/sites
</VirtualHost>

blog.domain.com works on the local LAN but not outside the LAN. I know it is allowed through the firewall as domain.com/blog works fine. The domain is registered at godaddy and there has been a cname created that points to the public ip.

  If you can control the actual Apache configuration file, you might try how
I do it:

<VirtualHost 66.252.224.242:80>
  ServerName    www.boston.conman.org
  CustomLog     /home/spc/web/logs/www.boston.conman.org combined-deflate
  Redirect      permanent       /       http://boston.conman.org/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 66.252.224.242:80>
  ServerName    boston.conman.org
  ServerAdmin   sean@conman.org
  DocumentRoot  /home/spc/web/sites/boston.conman.org/htdocs

  # rest of configuration ... not germane to the issue
</VirtualHost>

  I had a few people think my blogs at <http://www.boston.conman.org/> when
no, it's at <http://boston.conman.org/>.  This also tells the various search
engine indexers that the preferred site is boston.conman.org.

Redirects in httpd are accomplished with either

Redirect, or sadly, some people also use the muddy [R] from 
mod_rewrite (and implicit mod_rewrite Redirect can also be caused
by adding http:// or https:// to the Target or the rewrite)

If you have any of these in your config or in your .htaccess
then it's httpd's doing. If not, WP is the cuprit.
