Remember my example cat.p.dirtside.com? P.dirtside.com is a subdomain of dirtside.com. It's an administrative grouping of domain names that have a particular characteristic. However, p.dirtside.com is NOT a domain name. It has no DNS records of its own. Only subsidiaries like cat.p.dirtside.com exist and have DNS records.
Hmm. I would definitely have said “p.dirtside.com" is a subdomain. Can you point to where it says a subdomain is required to have DNS records? Thanks, -drc
