FYI, I did some experimenting with this and could not get it to work. So far, I can only have the blog root be different than the wordpress install location, but any subdomain has to contain the whole application.
Any options here? Thanks in advance!

i’ve been wondering about this too.
wordpress doesnt lend itself to multi-application sites very well.
you could do some crazy htaccess redirects, i guess.
I had this almost working 5 minutes ago like this:
http://domain.com/ <<< main site (with blog)
http://admin.domain.com/ <<< wordpress site
The only downside: you’ll no longer be logged in on main site when you log into WordPress.
Overview of what I did:
- Moved WP core files to a different directory
- Moved index.php to main directory (1 and 2 more or less as per here
- Created subdomain in Apache
- Restarted Apache
- Went to main site
And that was it, basically! I was a little ‘cheaty’ since my admin subdomain was pointing to the main site + /admin, but that should be OK as long as you change that directory (I imagine it would work with any, even above ‘main’ path) in index.php.
I haven’t been investigating it any further yet (and I’m thinking if I will really use it). In fact, I arrived here looking for some info.
Apart from not seeying the ‘edit’ and other admin options in main site, everything was OK.
