Adding Sub-Subdomains
Hi!
I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this question, but I need help getting some DNS settings correct on our domain controller that is running Windows 2008 R2 server.
We have to domain controller setup to properly route various domain names to our webserver. Our main website is ccchapel.com and we have a subdomain setup for each of our campuses (i.e. hudson.ccchapel.com). What I'm looking to do is setup www.hudson.ccchapel.com
in case we have people that accidentally add the www. I created a new A Record in DNS and entered www.hudson and the appropriate IP Address. DNS accepted it, created a "hudson" folder under the ccchapel.com zone and there are two records in the hudson folder:
www and (same as parent). However, when I try to ping "www.hudson.ccchapel.com" internally, I get an "Unknown host" error. When I ping "hudson.ccchapel.com" I get the proper response.
I've already added the "www.hudson.ccchapel.com" binding to our website in IIS on our Web Server as well.
I would think this would be rather easy, but I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong. If someone could please help me, that would be great!
Thanks!

Hello,
I have not understood well your description but if you want to assign an IP address for
www.hudson.ccchapel.com, you have to:
Create a www.huson.ccchapel.com primary DNS zone on your DNS server
Create an empty A record and put the IP address you want
Once done, use nslookup to check that all is okay.
