Yikes. This is not my forte!

I'm trying to set up a subdomain for a client but I'm getting hung up on "Zone File Class Types". I'm trying to set subdomain.hostname.com to go to another IP address.

What type would I use here? A, CNAME, or NS? The only option I *know* is wrong would be MX.

Ah thanks. I had about 15 minutes to make that call so I was feelin' the pressure. Sticking out tongue I really need to brush up on this stuff some day.
