I'll post more details here:
I have the following setup to attempt to get blogs to work like this: wordpress mu(latest version) is setup on in domain.com/blog/ I have it set up so new blogs are set up as subdomains x.domain.com/blog/. The blogs themselves seem to work superficially from that address. I have existing niched sites set up in x.domain.com (or domain.com/x/). When I click on any of the links or the post titles, archives, tags, whatever in x.domain.com/blog/ it redirects to x.domain.com.
My hosting company is completely perplexed as to how to fool with the rewrite rules to get this working correctly. It was hard enough to get wordpress mu to work with my structure in the first place. If you guys have any advice, explanations or answers, it would be greatly appreciated. *domain.com isn't actually the domain, just an example.
This is in my apache config
