SubDomain Configuration

A subdomain configuration is very similar to a domain name configuration. The only difference is that the subdomain entry is tied to the corresponding domain name lookup. A request for the subdomain (e.g. http://subdomain.domain.com) will be routed to a DNS server containing the DNS information for the parent domain (domain.com). Once the DNS record for the subdomain is resolved to a particular IP address, the request is sent to the web server listening on that IP address. The web server can now find the request to the particular website based on the subdomain name in the host header of the request object.
