I have no problem looking it up:

% host www.users.texomaonline.com
www.users.texomaonline.com has address 216.226.6.73

I entered it into my browser and got a page listing a bunch of users.  I
tried clicking on a few of the links and they all said "This Virtual
Directory does not allow contents to be listed."  That seems like a problem
with the configuration of the web server, not a DNS issue.

Anyway, if you're wondering how this is set up: You should have two zone
files, one for texomaonline.com and another for users.texomaonline.com.  In
the second file there's a record that looks like:

users IN A 216.226.6.73
