Hi. <br />
<br />
I am trying to understand the difference / requirements in the DNS resource record types required for a sub domain.<br />
<br />
So I understand for a normal zone we need a SOA, NS and the various A records etc.<br />
<br />
However I am confused about how a sub domain is meant to look as far as the record structure goes.<br />
<br />
Could I please get some clarification on this and a simple example to illustrate and compare it to a normal domain.<br />
<br />
e.g acme.com and sub1.acme.com<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />
Ward.

DNS Subdomains clarification and record structure.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
