- Whoever is the admin of lilypond.org would have to:
- register/set up the subdomain blog.lilypond.org
- edit the nameserver (A-Record) for that subdomain to point to my
provider's IP
- Then my server would transparently serve the blog as blog.lilypond.org
Two aspects have to be considered this way:
- I would have to become a 'secondary' owner of the lilypond.org domain
- The yearly domain registration fee would have to be paid twice.
Are you sure of this point?
Yes.
The owner of lilypond.org can provide any subdomain (blog.lilypond.org
www.lilypond.org foo.lilypond.org etc.) for free in a simple edition
of the zone file. It's the owner of .org that decided to make the
subdomain lilypond.org available for money.
This principle is recursive : whoever owns blog.lilypond.org can
provide an infinity of subdomains ( foo.blog.lilypond.org ) by editing
a single file.
To say it another way the owner of foo.lilypond.org does not have to
talk to the owner of .org but only to the owner of lilypond.org.
Yes, but the issue isn't to provide the subdomain at all but to let it
be served from a different provider.
In that case the one doing the hosting has to register the domain too
(as "external registration") because otherwise he wouldn't be able to
serve content with the different domain.
And the registrars (the companies that manage DNS) usually charge for
that service. In my case it would be EUR 18/year - not really much but
nevertheless something.

For the technical details it's explained here (but it's in french
sorry) by a french associative internet provider fdn (french data
network) :

Hop it helps.
Disclaimer : I love the idea of blog.lilypond.org, I'm not affiliated
or representing in any way fdn.
