Sounds like a CNAME will do what you need

I have tried getting this setup working but still to no avail. I'm positive there is a way of doing it, the idea seems so simple.
On my domain I have setup a subdomain of app.mydomain.com. I did this using cPanel. cPanel create the associated A records automatically.
In my customers cPanel I have setup a CNAME record of app.customerdomain.com pointing to app.mydomain.com.
This however doesn't work correctly. It is pointing to the right IP address (tested using ping) but I get the cPanel Default Web Page showing.
I'm guessing it's because my domain doesn't know where to point external requests to.
Any ideas?

I think what you have left to do is set up an alias on your side so that it knows what to do with app.customerdomain.com
You can also do a catch all if that is the only thing on that IP address

Can you offer any advice on how to do that when using cPanel?
If I was hosting it myself and had direct access to apache files I'm sure I could do it.

what paladin said.
you need to be able to configure multiple virtual hosts.
VirtualHost Examples - Apache HTTP Server:

It's working now, im really pleased.
I had to add customerdomain.com as a parked domain then create a subdomain of app.customerdomain.com. Pretty straight forward really.
I now need to work out how to access the MySQL database which is on the customers hosting.
