HELP! .htaccess won't run on rewritten subdomain
I've setup the following in virtualhost to direct any incomming subdomain for my domain to a respective folder.
i.e. blah.domain.com or www.blah.domain.com goes to /home/sites/site4/sites/blah/
I have been able to get CGI to work on the re-written domains by allowing cgi-script however I cannot get it to process .htaccess files for rewritten (mod_rewrite) subdomains (shown in httpd.conf below this message).
When I access a .htaccess protected directory which has been rewritten I get an error comming up (Cannot find server or DNS Error) in Internet Explorer.
If I remove .htaccess it allows access (but I need .htaccess in this folder as password protection). htaccess files work on domain.com but not on any re-written subdomains.
I have tried everything within my newbie knowledge of apache and gotten nowhere, I've added the following to access.conf to no avail.
<Directory /home/sites/site4/sites/*>
AllowOverride All
Options All
</Directory>
Does anyone have any Ideas what I can do to get these .htaccess files to be processed under a rewritten domain as I am really stuck.

The method for this is shown below using httpd.conf
(I've removed all the domain & IP bits)
