How to host subdomain on a different server than the main domain?
I have mydomain.com is developed with ASP.NET.
I need to serve a subdomain.mydomain.com will be developed with Drupal.
I thought all I would have to do would be to create an A record in my registrar's DNS nameservers to point to the public IP of the Host B, and that would be it, and I would be able to then proceed with my installation as soon as the DNS propagation would have finished. My Host B support team says that that would not work, although they haven't made it crystal clear why. They've said it's something to do with the virtual machine engine the WHM has been installed on to. Please kindly note that the Host B is a dedicated server, and I would expect there would be more flexibility in terms of available options.
I am mostly front-end oriented, and I need to better understand why that would be the case.
Would you happen to have available any resources I could spend time reading to better educate myself on this?
Any obvious insight at hand that I might be overlooking would be also really appreciated.

I honestly have no idea. I think we've reached the point of needing a ticket to do some more investigation though :D
Ok... I have this sorted and don't feel there is an issue with any of my servers, but in the "the interest of science" I'll do it. :D But I'm going to put it off a few days until a better time. I'll report back what I find out...0
