Subdomain points to other server - Is it possible?

[Sergio V.]

Hi Guys/Gals,

I was wondering if it is possible point a subdomain to an other server?

Cheers,

possible, you only need to add the delegated dns server for that subdomain

Yes. It's possible to point host of domain name on any IP you want. So you can point a subdomain to "an other server".

hey,

I use ZoneEdit:
http://www.zoneedit.com

This is a free webbased manager which enables you to do things like:

Point your domain and specific subdomains to your specified IP's
Manage where your email sends
etc

I use it for irc.mysite.com etc

It's only possible if you have access to your DNS or DNS configuration files. If you are locked behind a weak-o registrar, and a cPanel reseller or shared, you can't do it.

Just go to Addon Domains and point it to your SubDomain That's what I do :P

Actually, that's exactly why subdomains were invented. They were supposed to be different servers. www was to be a web server, mail.domain was to be a mail server, ftp.domain was supposed to be for FTP, etc. This was all done back when most servers couldn't handle the software, traffic, or multitasking of different things being done on the same computer.
