Here is my dilemma.

-I have a domain (example.me) registered with Godaddy.
-I have server space with Bluehost.
-I want to run multiple sites off the same Drupal code base on bluehost. (multi-site)
-I'd like to set up Drupal multi-site normally. (public_html/sites/example.me, example.com1, example.net2)
-I have my add-on domain (example.me) pointed to bluehost.
-but , it cannot point to a folder within a folder in public_html, for example it cannot point to /public_html/sites/example.me.
-it also cannot point to a symbolic link within /public_html.

What are my options?
-modify .htaccess?
-any ideas?

Is there a way for Drupal to recognize a folder(containing a site) outside of the /sites folder and still have it on the same Drupal install?

I've searched the forums here with a few different keywords and haven't seem to run across this same issue. I need some help.

You'll have to adapt it for use with an addon domain, but http://helpdesk.bluehost.com/index.php/kb/article/000347 might help.
