What you did was correct.  You wanted a new site, not a Virtual Directory.

Actually, everything you've done seems like it should work.  A couple
questions, do you have a proxy server that you are going through?  If
so, that might be the problem.

Also, when you say that it shows you www.domain.com instead of
dev.domain.com do you mean that the URL in the address bar changes from
dev.domain.com to www.domain.com?  Or is it just that the content that
shows up is from www.domain.com?  Did you copy over the content from
www.domain.com to the folder containing dev.domain.com?  If so this
would explain why that content shows up.  And does the index file you
have in that directory contain a redirect?

Also, what is the path to the folder containing www.domain.com?
