That's sounds like a pretty advanced feature for cPanel. However, maybe
cPanel can normally do it but my provider has it disabled.

These are the candidate DNS options that I have available to me, and the
descriptions:

Domains  ::Addon Domains
========================
An addon domain allows you to reach a subdomain when entering the name
of the addon domain into a browser. This means that you can host
additional domains from your account, if allowed by your hosting
provider. Addon Domainsare relative to your account's home directory.
The [home] icon signifies your home directory which is /home/melanson.

This feature must be enabled for your account before you can use it.
Addon Domains will not be functional unless the domain name is
registered with a valid registrar and configured to point to our DNS
servers.


Domains  ::Parked Domains
=========================
Domain pointers allow you to "point" or "park" additional domain names
to your existing hosting account. This will allow users to also reach
your website when entering the "parked" or "pointed" domain into their
browsers. Parked Domains are relative to your account's home directory.

Domains must be registered with a valid registrar before they can be
parked. In addition, they will not be functional unless they are
configured to point to your DNS servers.



Do either of those sound right? Thanks...
