How can I point a subdomain to a different server?
I have my main website hosted with gains.arrowcloudlinux.com (Directadmin) but I need to point a subdomain to a different server. How do I do this?

Yes exactly like the screenshot. Create an A record and point it to the different server like you did in the screenshot.

Log into account
Open the Domain Manager
Click the domain you are working with
Click “Total DNS Control and MX Records”
The first group in this area should be A (Host), on the top right of this bar, click Add New A Record
Enter the host name, in my case it was “blog.aremysitesup.com”
Enter the IP address of the server you wish to point at.

Yes, u can create A record with your subdomain,
But in my case, i just type the prefix's subdomain to your DNS configuration panel.

look like your screenshot, u should only type "blog" (it ussual) not "blog.aremaysitesup.com"
But, its also depending on your DNS configuration provider.
