Hi All,
I am looking to add a DNS record for a different subnet. Our corporate subnet is 172.23.5.X and the other zone is 172.23.6.x. How would I do this on 2003 server.

The subnet won't matter. You can still add it as long as the zone/domain is going to be the same. A zone can hold records from an unlimited number of subnets.

The only thing for you to think about is whether you have a reverse lookup zone created for that other subnet, so that when you create this new record, a corresponding PTR record can be created for it.

But PTR records are optional, so this shouldn't be a deal-breaker for you, in most circumstances.
