DNS ONLY Sub-domain  Records

DNS ONLY subdomains are subdomains that point to another service and are not fully hosted with dreamhost. 

Start by going to your Manage Domains Page :

Mange-Domains

Find your domain (the main domain not the subdomain), if the subdomain is fully hosted, you will need to remove it from hosting be using delete action :

DeleteAction

Find the main domain and click the dns link under it:

Main-Domain-DNS

Now you can add the DNS ONLY subdomain:

Subdomain-DNS

Example:

Name:  Your Subdomain

Type:  A or Cname

(A record uses IP, Cname uses another subdomain)
