Creating a subdomain that would act as a DNS

[Firegamer]

I just need a subdomain that would be an actual domain for a project I'm working on. I've been searching how to do this, but to no avail. Any answers are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I don't quite understand what you're looking for. Can you give an example of what you'd like to accomplish? Use "example.com" as the sample domain.

Something like this: irc.example.com:6667
Where irc.example.com would actualy be a seperate server.

I believe you would want to create a CNAME and point subdomain.yourdomainc.om to someotherdomain.someotherdomain.com:someport. I havn't tried this on the new platform, but I used to do this all the time for remote access to my home box.

Go here: http://ops.powweb.com/webControl/domaincentral/index.bml?page=customdns

Choose the domain you want to add the DNS record to from the drop-down.

Click on "Add More" to the right of CNAME.
Type in the alias (the subdomain portion of subdomain.yourdomain.com).
For the Hostname, type in the someotherdomain.someotherdomain.com (per your example above, that would be irc.irc.example.com)
Save the zone and then wait for it reload and propagate.

No, I don't think so. What is wanted here is an A (Address) record for "irc" with the different IP address. (The port isn't part of the DNS entry.) You'd use CNAME if you wanted an alias for an existing A entry, but can't put a port in there either.

You are right on the port part. He didn't mention wanting to point to a different IP and his example used a hostname, so I gave the instructions for a CNAME.
