If you post a sample virtualhost config people can comment and point out 
suggestions..   (there's a couple of ways to do it.)

yes, you need subdomains to have DNS entries ( or hosts file entries at

Jails will be irrelevant, other than ensuring that the IP for the 
virtual host, and the jailed apache is correct/reachable.
