OK yes - but why not just set up say:

   - http://subdomain.david.on-rev.com/

And then point the C name record as:

   - subdomain.mydomain.com  =>  subdomain.david.on-rev.com ?

I'd still have different folders on on-rev - but are you saying that I'd
have different root folders and that
http://subdomain.david.on-rev.com/would then not ALSO point to
subdomain.david.on-rev.com ? Still a bit confused - thanks for you patience!
