The sub-domain LyonshallBooks.Lyonshall.net gives page not found.

Books.Lyonshall.net works.

In both cases, I set a DNS record for lyonshall.net with a Host A
record for the subdomain and then an IIS website for
subdomain.lyonshall.net.

Is LyonshallBooks.Lyonshall.net invalid because the sub-domain name
starts with the domain name Lyonshall? Or is there another setting I
have to make?

Thanking you in anticipation.
 
RE: Sub-domain name limitation

Withers,

This isn't a limitation on the name or anything like that. this would
either be a configuration problem in your DNS or an issue with your IIS
configuration.

In this case Ping is your friend. From a Command Prompt, ping
LyonshallBooks.Lyonshall.net. You should see it resolve to the IP address
that you have bound to the IIS instance. You don't get an IP address, then
your problem is DNS. If you do get the correct solution and still cannot see
the site, then you have a configuration issue with the IIS site.

I am expecting that this will be an issue with your DNS as normally you
would get some kind of error from IIS if the problem were there.
