Put it in a subdir of the regular site.  You're going to alias it so it 
looks like that anyway, right?  So you'll have an indirection leading to 
some directory somewhere.  Somewhere may as well be under htdocs since 
that seems most straightforward.

You can't really set up a separate virtual server since people may be 
counting on getting the regular site from any domain name.

I was going to say you could use an unadvertised domain name for the 
virtual server, like linux.denver.co.us, but I see that it has a 
different IP than clue.denver.co.us.  (Perhaps an argument for us to run 
our own DNS master.)
