I have a basic question about pointing a sub-domain to another server. I have my main domain point to a website, but I want to create a sub-domain that points to another server which will be used as a game server. Do I have to configure anything on the Apache side of my web server or do I just setup the A name record with the sub-domain name and the other server's IP and simply be good to go?

Thanks in advance.

Just set up an A record for the subdomain. Youe web server will never see any traffic related to the subdomain and needs no changes.
