[semi-OT] configuring DNS, virtual hosting on dreamhost (?)

As I've said, the domain in question has already been set up in a way
that satisfies requirements for the moment, so we don't have a problem
needing a solution.  This is just me being curious about the gap (however
small) in the "chain of custody" WRT configuring domains at dreamhost.com
(and elsewhere?)  and their apparent reliance (however inconsequential)
on Security By Obscurity.  Yes, I could have waited until that family
was once again reachable so I could quiz the kid about the details of
whatever tools he used.  Yes, I could have slogged through the process
of trying to extract that info from dreamhost.com even though I'm not
a customer.  But I instead hoped to DISCUSS my [semi-OT] curiosity on
this gnhlug-DISCUSS channel because it's possibly of interest to others
who may wonder about the mechanics and arcana of the DNS.

Merry fscking Saturnalia.   (sheesh...!)
