Subdomain question.

[CrazyaZnBoii]

How do you make a sub-domain pointing to another nameserver (not the same as the main domain)

Example: My main domain is on SERVER1 to it's pointed to ns1.server1.com and ns2.server1.com. But I want to point my sub-domain to ns1.server2.com and ns2.server2.com

I wonder how do you do it. I use name cheap by the way.
Thanks in advance.

You cant as far as i know.
you have to create a subdomain and redirected it or use that account,but you cant change the name server.

You can do it I've seen it before it's just that I don't know how it works.

This can be done through hosting account and not by domain registrar

it is easy when you have a reseller account but not the cPanel acconuts ,

If you have cPanel accounts , You have to contact your admin !

If you have your domain on SERVER 1, Your admin or reseller can add a

sub-domain and can change the name server for the particular sub-domain to

NS1.SERVER2.COM and NS2.SEVER2.COM

You can't do it through cpanel but with WHM you can do it easily.

yeah, with WHM everything posible, but with Cpanel, just send email to admin, and ask admin to do this

If you would like to have a subdomain that points to a different server than the main server, you would need to create a A name entry at the registrar for that subdomains so that you can point it to a different server.

get a account at zoneedit.com - change domain servers. Then in your ns records, just add it there! I do, and have many like that!

There's this DNS record thing named NS records. You basically go like:

subdomain.server1.com. [TTL] NS ns1.server2.com.
subdomain.server1.com. [TTL] NS ns2.server2.com.

You can either add this to the appropriate file in /var/named or just use cPanel's Edit DNS feature.

Lol, I tried that and it stuffed up my whole domain

When I said "like" I meant like, not exact. You probably need to put an "IN" somewhere in there....
