How can i point sub.domain.com to the ip sub2.domain.com is pointing to ? .

i need it coz i wanna use no-ip.biz that gives you static address to your dinamic ip.
so for example MyComp.MyDomain.com will always go to my ip

I'm using plesk .

Thank you

Just create a CNAME:
sub.domain.com. CNAME sub2.domain.com.

And for even less resource usage, use another A record. CNAME records will likely be depreciated in a future version of BIND.

sub.domain.com. A IP.of.sub2.domain

the point is that the ip of sub2.domain is dynamic

Sorry, I missed the dynamic aspect of the second domain. I'm not sure if CNAME will help you either in this case. You may get bitten by caching. You may need to go with a dynamic DNS service.

Dynamic DNS is your only solution.

Try zoneedit.com for a great free (5 domains) choice.

Good Luck;)
