[users@httpd] Multiple domains & sub-domains

["Warhurst, SI (Spencer) " <S....@rl.ac.uk>]

This is as much a general DNS question as it is an Apache question, but the
scenario is:

One of our customers has a domain, eg: "www.somewhere.com", and has his own
ISP hosting his website. He wants to set up a sub-domain, such as
"service.somewhere.com", but all requests for that sub-domain need to come
through to our Apache web server. The purpose of this is so that he can use
our mailing list service, which has a CGI web interface, but make it look
like it's part of his own website.

Is this possible?

Thanks

I think you would first add a CNAME record to the somewhere.com
nameservers' zone files such that service.somewhere.com is an alias to
your Apache server's name.  Then add "service.somewhere.com" as a
virtual host to your Apache httpd.conf, and go from there.  But I'm no
DNS expert so you might do it differently.
