    Default 2 servers 1 domain + subdomains

    Hello,

    Just wondering how i would setup WHM/cPanel to do this... I have two server boxes. I am going to be using one server for paying customers and the other for free customers with a sub domain, invite only. Anyway, how would i set it up so that i host the "mydomain.com" on the main server box (for paying customers) and have all the sub domains "______.mydomain.com" on the other server without having to manually point the dns to the server for every sub domain setup?

    IIRC, if you create a cPanel account with subdomain.mydomain.com - it creates the DNS records for the subdomain as if it was a domain.

    Yeah, but im saying i have two dedicated servers. Im hosting my website (mydomain.com for example) on the main one. I want to be able to have, on the second box, sub domains that work with ____.mydomain.com without having to edit the DNS on the main server to point to the second server. Is there any way to do that?
