Sub domain - ip

[nem]

Is there a way to use a sub domain as an ip address?

How would i go about doing this in the DNS MANAGEMENT?

A client of mine needs it to run for an online radio station on his computer, so instead of promoting his ip, his promoting a subdomain address.

Any replies would be appreciated.

A url can point to an IP address.

If this doesn't answer your question I don't know what you mean.

How would i go about forwarding the address? I cant use .htaccess file can i, since its not for the web browser.

I'm not sure what you mean.

Does he want to advertise the subdomain name or the IP#?

The IP Address is the server the radio is on (shoutcast). Now, how would i be able to set:

http://radio.domain.com as a forwarder of that ip address? So if i type that in to windows media player for example, it would play from the server.

Would i create an A record: www.radio ?

Well you wouldn't use the www in your example, because it wouldn't match the rest of your example.

You could add two a records; one for www.radio and one for radio.
