dns - how to configure hostname to have identical name as subdomain? -


i've accomplished following on unix system, don't manage same configured on ms windows server:

subdomain.example.org zone, can setup child hostnames host.subdomain.example.org. furthermore, subdomain.example.org entry point subdomain , runs webserver. purpose create a record points ip address. is, hostname identical subdomain name.

i don't seem able reproduce on windows server. once create subdomain, can't add a record. what's secret getting , running?

when creating records can use @ symbol record name indicate parent record i.e. no record name. in case applies subdomain zones (and beyond).

example.com = @ in 1.2.3.4   www.example.com = www in 192.168.0.2  

example raw dns zone file:

$ttl    14400 $origin example.com. @  1d  in    soa ns1.example.com.   hostmaster.example.com. (                   2002022401 ; serial                   3h ; refresh                   15 ; retry                   1w ; expire                   3h ; minimum                  )        in  ns     ns1.example.com. ; in domain        in  ns     ns2.smokeyjoe.com. ; external domain        in  mx  10 mail.another.com. ; external mail provider  @      in       1.2.3.4   ; root record here value example.com ns1    in       192.168.0.1  ;name server definition      www    in       192.168.0.2  ;web server definition ftp    in  cname  www.example.com.  ;ftp server definition  bill   in       192.168.0.3 fred   in       192.168.0.4
