There are two general steps that you need to follow: <br> <br>1.- Create an A record in your Zone File for the subdomain pointing to the new server. e.g. <br> <br>subdomain.domain.com. 3600 IN A 0.0.0.0 <br> <br>2.- Configure the webserver in your new server so that it can serve that subdomain. This depends on the webserver running on your other machine (Apache, Nginx, lighthttp, etc)

a zone fila complete? <br> <br>$TTL 86400 <br>@ IN SOA subdomain.domain.com…com. root.mydomain.com. ( <br> 2013042201 ;Serial <br> 3600 ;Refresh <br> 1800 ;Retry <br> 604800 ;Expire <br> 86400 ;Minimum TTL <br>) <br>; Specify our two nameservers <br> IN NS ns1.subdomain.domain.com. <br> IN NS ns2.subdomain.domain.com. <br>; Resolve nameserver hostnames to IP, replace with your two droplet IP addresses. <br>ns1 IN A 1.1.1.1 <br>ns2 IN A 2.2.2.2 <br> <br>; Define hostname -> IP pairs which you wish to resolve <br>@ IN A 3.3.3.3 <br>www IN A 3.3.3.3
