The only thing I can think of is registering either domain2.com or site.domain2.com with dreamhost so that it makes a virt host in the apache conf file. Not sure which one, or if it will make the virt host correctly. Guess I could try both and see what happens. I do not see a way to edit the httpd.conf file directly via the webpanel or via ssh to dreamhost.
