You're right. Assumptions bad -- troubleshoot good.

Aha ... didn't think of that. When I used the PHP command:
file_get_contents(foo.domain.com);
I got:
Warning: file_get_contents(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed:
Name or service not known

Looks like I have a self-serve DNS problem, because I can grab the wildcard
sub-domains from other servers. Unfortunately it looks like I'm back to the
drawing board... but at least with something more specific. Thanks for the
quick insight.
