Hi Eric

Thanks for the "review" of things I thought I knew.

As it turns out, I already have several lists running on a vdomain.

The "vdomain" that was failing for me is not actually a vdomain - it is 
a host_alias for the principal domain. (Had to do some digging to figure 
that out.)

So I guess my question is now much more complicated:

1) Can I create and manage a list for a host_alias? How?
2) If 1=no, is there any way to create a vdomain that behaves like a 
host_alias. Then I can use the existing tools.

Neil
