Internet DNS Zones? How to add subdomains?
I am the administrator of a web server. i can resolve www.cwcrl.com or cwcrl.com but when i try to resolve example.cwcrl.com it doesnt resolve, i know its posible to make it resolve anything.cwcrl.com to the server but i cant figure out how to make it do that, Thanks for any help.
you need to add an "A" or CNAME reocrd to your DNS server or settings for example to resovle to www.cwcl.com
If you want to resolve any typed address under cwcrl.com to www.cwcrl.com then you need a Wildcard Record. So you would want:
* CNAME www.cwcrl.com.

Open DNS Admin console in Windows Admin Tools.
Locate the cwcrl.com.
Right Click and select CNAME record.
Just put the name "example" and put IP address of web server.
Now example.cwcrl.com will resolve to the web server.
One more thing, On IIS, you need to add header of example to the website .
Locate the cwcrl.com.
Right Click and select CNAME record.
