Creating test sub-domain prior to site going live with full domain

Hi there,

I hope someone can give me some advice on a problem I have.

When we setup a site, we would setup:

www.clientsite.com

in plesk. However, more often than not we will want to develop the site using a subdomain on a sandbox url we use:

clientsite.oursandbox.com

Once the client is ready to go live we would make changes to their domain dns so that their usual domain works.

But the problem is I cant see how to setup one of our test subdomains to point to the same webspace, using forwarding wont work as it wants to forward to a url (which currently points to the clients site we are re-developing).

I can see some helpful info in the posting http://forum.swsoft.com/showthread.php?threadid=27533&highlight=named.conf+add+domain
but I cant see quite how to get this working, what changes I should make to named.conf and how to test it?

Any input would be gratefully received.

Regards. Steve
