Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Subdomains from one domain two webhosts

[firstmark]

How exactly does one set things up so that one could have a site hosted at one host and a forum hosted at another such that yoursite.com is at host A and forums.yoursite.com is hosted by host b but appears as a subdomain of your original site.

What exactly has to be changed or done to allow this precisely?

The website 'forums.yoursite.com' is set up at Host B and a DNS entry is added to yoursite.com at Host A, pointing the subdomain at Server B's IP address
