You'll need to configure a virtual host and wildcard DNS, such that anything *.nettest.techplantations.com. will point to the same place. Alternatively, you can manually configure DNS records for reach subdomain, which is prohibitive in a multi-user environment, but probably workable in a multi-blog situation. (WP does check if you have a wildcard DNS by trying to access a random subdomain, but I think it's just a warning you can bypass.)
Here's a nice tutorial from Andrea R: http://wpmututorials.com/how-to/enabling-wildcard-subdomains/.
