"No, that's handled by apache", he said. Now, maybe I didn't ask the question right, or maybe he thought I was talking about something else, or I misunderstood his answer, but at least it seems I had the right idea. Maybe he thought I was talking about registering domains.

If your ISP is handling the DNS records for csd-bes.net, then yes, they'll
need to update the file that defines the particulars of all the hosts
in that domain. If both have the same IP address, then
support.csd-bes.net IN CNAME csd-bes.net.
needs to be added.
