Say that I have a domain name called example.com and two server located at 2 different IP addresses: 1.2.3.4 and 6.7.8.9.

How could I assign example.com to 1.2.3.4 and the subdomain foo.example.com to 6.7.8.9?

[EDIT] I did try to put a A record linking from @ to the first IP address and from foo.example.com to the second IP address, as illustrated below:

enter image description here

And I did configure a vhosts called foo.example.com on my server at IP address 2.

The @ record works. But after 3 hours waiting for the result (DNS delay), nothing happened with foo.example.com, which link to nothing. Why?
