Create a subdomain in windows 2003 (DNS server)

[mar_zim]

I'm not a network guy so I don't know if I explain this correctly.
How do I create a subdomain in our company site i.e mydomain.ourcompay.net?
so that I can access my page externally(outside our local network).
What configuration should I do in DNS server? I want to add a subdomain that can access externally and in that subdomain I'm planning my page runs under apache server but I think our company site are under IIS. What should I do?

or Let's just put it this way I want to create a subdomain that when someone access to my domain i.e mydomain.ourcompany.net it will route to my pc which my page located that runs under apache server.


Thanks in advance guys.

I'm not a network guy either but I believe you need to create a subdomain (A) record where ever you have your domain name hosted.

Yeah I already created a subdomain but I believed it's just an intranet. I mean it will just access internally not externally.

or maybe I'm wrong.

If you created the secondard (A) record from your domain name hosts website then it should point to a IP address on your server (or router) so when visitors type subdomain.domainname.com it will know where to go.

I don't know if I created the subdomain correctly. I just follow this tutorial http://www.simongibson.com/intranet/dns2003/ but it states there that it is only for intranet(local network). Basically mydomain.ourcompany.net address can only be accessed inside our network. What I want is that that address should be accessed outside our network.

Yes, its similar. What you need if you want your sub domain to be public, assuming your domain is a public site already, to create the subdomain dns (A) record on your website host or host server. This is where you point your public static ip to your server, or for your website host.
