    DNS Zone question for sub domains

    Hi:
    I have a subdomain sub.mysite.com that's hosted on a different server from mysite.com, using a A record redirect in the DNS Zone file in WHM:

    sub | A Record | destination_IP

    The problem is, while:

    sub.mysite.com

    resolves, if I type:

    www.sub.mysite.com

    it doesn't. My question is, do I need to also add:

    www.sub | A Record | destination_IP

    to the DNS Zone file? This is never mentioned in tutorials, so I'm not sure I'm on the right path here.

    Thanks,

    This can be done, or you can setup a separate zone record for this sub domain.

    hey..

    Just try adding the www.subdomain entry in the zone file and also do update the www alias in your apache configuration that will do .

    Thanks guys. I wonder why all the tutorials I've read never mentions the necessity of adding "www.subdomain" as a A record as well, instead of just "subdomain." For example, this tutorial: http://www.webhostgear.com/12.html
