I currently have a website up and running on a jailed VPS; I've been trying to set up subdomains so that one might navigate to a certain area of the site by using a URL of the form blog.mywebsite.net rather than mywebsite.net/blog.

Do Virtual Hosts behave differently if they're within a jail? Or do I need some sort of DNS registration for subdomains? I've been trying to figure it out by myself, with little success so far - I'm quite new to this.
