Thanks Anthony for the help. As I suspected, I was on the right track with
the httpd.conf, but not with the DNS.

In order to get bind to accept multiple records pointing to the same IP
address, I had to append "; EXTREF" after the IP address of the subdomain,
like this:

example.com. IN A 123.123.123.123
subdomain IN A 123.123.123.123; EXTREF

Presumably this will still work.

Thanks again for the help -- I might have gotten there eventually with
trial and error, but with DNS stuff it takes a few days before I realize
there's an error.

Cheers,
Noah
