Subdomains Not Resolving

[snipe]

As usual, subdomains created with cpanel are flaky at best. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. I know this is a cpanel bug that's been discussion 100 times on forums across the 'net, but does anyone have a good solution to make them stick?

 

I'm comfy logging in as root and editing whatever files I need to to make the subdomain known and permanent, but I am hesitatant to mess with system files for fear of breaking something in cpanel.

 

If anyone knows the direct shell based way to correct the subdomain stupid-ness that won't break cpanel, please let me know.

 

Thanks!
