You're free to do it in a way NOT supported by Drupal....but lots of
things won't work. The fact that it sort of works is a fact of the way
web servers work, and nothing to do with Drupal.

You've already pointed example.com at your server. Larry was asking
about a *sub-folder* not a domain. My instructions (taken directly
from documentation embedded in settings.php) are how to do multisite
with a sub-folder.

Would love to hear back from Larry whether this worked for him....
