Apache 2 and sub-domain setup

Actually the link to the Apache 2 docs did me more good but it was that I
needed to include the main site first, then my subdoamins as other virtual
hosts. My first working one is at <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://rt88mm.rbcsweb.net" target="_blank">http://rt88mm.rbcsweb.net</a>

Of course going through zoneedit for DNS it also took 15 mins to allow me to
go from the name in the browser to the IP of the server but it's all doen
and functional. next is moving a domain hosted elsewhere to my machine, real
fun since the person that registered it died last year.

You will need to use name based virtual hosting for the webserving side.

The suggested names you have given (e.g. sales.rbcsweb.net) - as you appear
to want to use them - are not sub-domains, but just normal hostnames (like
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.rbcsweb.net" target="_blank">www.rbcsweb.net</a>). To host a web page on these hostnames each one must
resolve to the address of your server (just as <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.rbcsweb.net" target="_blank">www.rbcsweb.net</a> currently
does). This will require you to create an A record in your DNS server, in
the rbcsweb.net domain, for each host you wish to use.
