Subdomains for Add-on domains?

I know how to setup a subdomain for an add-on domain, but it doesn't seem to be working.

I have v2.mydomain.com setup right now and it works as the directory is the v2 dir under my public_html folder. I also have myaddondomain.com setup and it works just fine. If I create v2.myaddondomain.com it sets the directory to the same v2 folder under public_html, not under the domain that it was created for. I would expect that v2.myaddondomain.com would point to /public_html/myaddondomain/v2, but it doesn't. What gives?

Hmm. Good question. If I am understanding you right what you want to do is set up an add-on domain to an already existing add-on domain. Right?
I don't know if that is possible/allowed.

No. An add-on domain is a subdomain with redirection which points www.myaddon.com to myaddon.mydomain.com. I want to add a subdomain to an add-on domain. In theory, this would create subdomain.myaddon.mydomain.com and let me access it from subdomain.myaddon.com.

www.pelicar.info is an add-on domain that is in the /public_html/pelicar folder.

forum.pelicar.info is a sub-domain of pelicar.info and it's physical location is /public_html/forum, not /public_html/pelicar/forum

Just the way it works. Yeah I know, it gets a bit confusing when uploading files and what not.

You might see if support can change the "root" folder of the sub-domain to be /public_html/addon/subdomain instead, if it's possible.
