    Hello..

    What you have to do is to add the subdomains as A entries. Let's say the IP address of serverb is 10.11.12.13

    So the entry should be something like:

    abcd 14400 IN A 10.11.12.13
    Code (markup):
    You could also use cname and the serverB hostname, but that would require an extra query for the IP address of serverB and it could take some extra miliseconds.

    Then, the webserver at serveB should answer as a virtual host to: abcd.domain.com
