Jim,
I fail to understand what this accomplishes.
It gives the user an 'A' record and a 'CNAME' record for the subdomain.
But it does nothing (as I see it) for an actual web site.
There must be something missing (or I am missing something).
I would assume that someplace under mydomain.com is a
directory for mysub.mydomain.com, or a user mysub/web.
How does it work???
Gerald
