thanks for the quick reply.
I have to have a soft link like ln -s /var/www/html/websites/XXX.com
rid.XXX.com

Is this the only way ?????
I have seen many sites out there that make the subdomain a keyword in order
to get higher in Search engine rankings.

Can someone else back this up....

thinks that is all you need....I tried and tried..but there seems to be a no
go on the directory resolving.

thanks
