subdomains iis 6

Hi all i'm running server 2003 std edition and IIS 6. I'm hosting a number of
websites with no problems using host headers and everything works fine.
However i've just set up a subdomain i.e admin.mysite.com it points to my
server but i cant get any pages served!
I've checked:
Host headers are correct
dns zone entries are correct (my domain registrar handles this)

All the settings for the subdomain are the same for the main domain except
for the host headers - but nothing works.

Can anyone help.

Thanks
James

Re: subdomains iis 6

IIS has no knowlegde of domains, or subdomains etc

All it cares is that
a) the client sends the appropriate HTTP Host: header value
b) the website is configured with the corresponding Host Header value

So, if this is "not working" you need to work out where the process is
failing. If you do "ping host.subdomain.domain.com" does it resolve to the
correct address?

Cheers
Ken

Re: subdomains iis 6

All sorted - DNS was pointing to the wrong IP address!
