Windows Server 2003 DNS: Double subdomains (e.g. sub1.sub2.example.com)?

Question

How do I configure two or more hierarchical sub-domains in Windows Server 2003 DNS management?

E.g. I have a domain example.com and I want to create a subdomain configuration like:

subA.sub1.example.com
subB.sub1.example.com

If its just DNS, you should be able to simple create a new ZONE under example.com for 'sub1.example.com' and build out a tree like that.

	From the dnsmgmt tool I could not see how to add a ZONE. What I did do that worked was to add a new Host Record (A) and in the name field of the dialog box that pops up I entered sub1.sub2.example.com. This automatically created a folder called sub2 with a sub1 host record in it. – User Jul 9 '10 at 22:58
	That works as well, just replace "folder" with "zone" and we are doing the same thing:) Glad it worked. – Taylor Jul 9 '10 at 23:45
