Setting up a Sub Domain

I own a domain somedomain.com and would like to set it up that if a user goes to blah.somedomain.com the server points them to a particular directory within the current website (for instance www.somedomain.com/blah)  Do I do this by setting up DNS files? or is there another way?  Can someone give me an example?  thanks

-All you have to do is create a website for blah... & in IIS within administrative tools right click the default website & choose to create a virtual directory... There are no dns changes necissary...
-When you call the site blah & point to the correct folder & start page, when users go to www.somedomain.com/blah they will be resirected to that specific site.

When you talk to the ISP or whoever sets up the DNS make sure they create an A record or a CNAME. NOT a subdomain.
