how to set up subdomain on another server

[Richard Barnes -Listserv]

on the master NS server (ns.domain.com), modify the DNS record to look like
this:

@    IN    SOA    ns.domain.com. hostmaster.domain.com. (
....

                  IN    NS    ns.domain.com <- this specifies the nameserver
for "domain.com"
                  IN    NS    ns2.domain.com <- this specifies the secondary
server for "domain.com"
sub            IN    NS    X.X.X.X <- IP address of the name server you want
to host the db files on
sub            IN    NS    X.X.X.X <- IP address of secondary server - if
you want one.

I would recommend the book "DNS and BIND" published by O'Reilly &
Associates.  Chapter 9 deals with this issue.
