is that possible for me to set DNS for my sub domain ??
somthing like abc.com is host here and cde.abc.com to point to another server/hosting ??

possible ? if yes ...how to do it ?
cause me and few friend sharing a short domain and plan to use the sub domain for our own site (nice domain hack) ...
 
You have to setup the subdomain in dns management then on the other server setup the subdomain in the webserver like normal.
 
i means inside direct admin can i set up the dns for sub ???
i understand if the sub domain able to setup DNS, the sub will work like a real domain ....
 
Is the subdomain on the second server going to be a complete subdomain, with it's own DNS zone, and also with email, etc.? Or just a website reference?

yah complete sub ...
i think with DNS pointing to another server shouldn't be any problem for email (MX setting) ...
can help ?? thanks
 
I presume your main domain is hosted on the original server?

And I presume (from your email) that your subdomain will work as a complete domain, including email, etc.

Does the other server handle DNS? if so, then what you should have in the zone file for the main domain are two NS records, pointing the subdomain to the DNS server serving the new server.

something like this:
Code: 
subdomain.example.com.  NS  ns1.new.example.com.
subdomain.example.com.  NS ns2.new.example.com.

and then host the nameserver where the new subdomain is being hosted.

ok ok ...
thanks will try it out asap ...

You need A records for the two nameservers in the zonefile for new.example.com, but you don't register them at your registrar. Setting the NS records in your example.com zonefile is the equivalent to registering domain level nameservers at your registrar.

Note that I left out two trailing . characters in my original post; I've fixed them above both in my post and in your quote of it.
