Multi sub-domain -> same ip

I sent a response to my own post and I haven't seen it show up on the server...

It turns out I finally found someone at the web hosting company that knew what they were doing. Oritinally the records were CNAME. He changed them to A records yesterday and that fixed my problem

Thanks for responding anyway.
