Need Help Configuring DNS (subdomains)

[rqsweat]

Hi Everyone,

Here's my problem. I only have 1 domain which points to this server (domain.com). I am attempting to point a subdomain (subdomain.domain.com) to another server on our network. I simply tried creating an A record pointing subdomain.domain.com to the NEW server's IP. However, when I attempt to access subdomain.domain.com via a browser or even a ping, the IP that is returned is from domain.com, now what I entered as the A name.

Any thoughts? Am I doing something wrong?

THanks

or could someone direct me to a post where this type of error may have been explained?

You need to create another forwarding domain with xxx.domaincom that will redirect to the link that you prefer

can't i just add a DNS entry with an A Name? I've done it this way in the past using old Plesk software.
