Question : setting up subdomain on IIS6

hi there

i have a dedicated server running IIS6.
i'd like to open a subdomain.

i have opened a new "website" in IIS, and created the header as sub.domain.com
with the same IP as the main domain is running.

but its not working.

if there something else i have to do?

Thanks!

If you host your own DNS server you must do it yourself. If you don't then your DNS provider should do it. You will do it where you configured the IP address record pointing your domain. An "A (Host) Record" must be created.

For example, you must have a record like this for your main domain name to server as a web site:

85.110.100.200 A domain.com

If you can reach your domain using www.domain.com then you already have a record for

85.110.100.200 A www

Now you need this:

85.110.100.200 A subdomainname
