The answer to the problem was actually in my library. I just needed to know
what I was looking for. Almost every response told me to get _DNS & Bind_
by Albitz & Liu (O'Reilley & Assoc.) and read the chapters on Sub Domains
(Parenting). Others actually told me how to do it, but I am still a little
confused so I will read the chapter and figure it out.
Again thanks for all the help.
