First, right up front, I'm trying to load this with GoDaddy. (I really don't understand the vehement reactions to GoDaddy here, since I haven't had any major problems with them. The prices are reasonable, they offer a lot of stuff I like, and I've never had issues with their CS. True, sometimes it takes a couple of contacts to resolve something, but where isn't that the case?)
I've accepted the fact that I won't be able to use the MU dub-domain facility, and that really doesn't bother me. In fact, since many of the blogs I create will be mine and mine alone, the sub-directory option make it look more like a regular site with many different topic pages.
However, I do have a need for a few sub-domains to point to specific sub-directories. As in topic.domain.com point to domain.com/topic. I tried using the domain manager to create the sub-domains pointing the the virtual sub-directories, but that did not work. Instead it made both the topic/domain.com and domain.com/topic not work (the first a not authorized error and the second not found).
Is there another way to do this? I noticed when I added the sub-domain using the domain manager, the names were automatically added to the 'A' records in the DNS manger. Can I add these sub-domains instead as CName aliases? If so, where would they point?
Thanks,
Wally
