    Hi people, I have a problem.
    I have never worked with VPS or dedicated servers before, so I have stuck now with probably simple problem.
    I have a domain name which is hosted on one server (p.e. server A), and also, I have created subdomain which is hosted on another server (p.e. server B), in my case VPS. I have to work like this, because my subdomain is a forum which has a lot of traffic, more than website, so this was my only solution.
    So, my problem is what I need to have in my dns zone for subdomain.domain.com on my VPS, or rather, do I need to have dns zone for this.
    Can anyone tell me what is the best option to work, because people start complaying about site is loading too slow for a while, then very fast.

    Create an A record forum.domain.com and assign the IP of your server forum.

    Is that all I need to do ?
    Can I have custom nameservers for subdomain on another host (VPS)?
