You create an A record for the domain, like the first line of this
piece of my list:

;  Internal machines
alumbre-tech.com.               IN      A       204.133.237.200
alumbre-tech.com.               LOC     40 34 1 N 105 2 7 W 1505m
www.alumbre-tech.com.           IN      A       204.133.237.200
ftp.alumbre-tech.com.           IN      A       204.133.237.200

PS: The LOC record says where my server is. Info is here:

You want a subdomain to work on the same machine?  So www.blah.com
goes to the same machine as www.foo.blah.com, but they go to a 
different set of files?  I'm thinking that is pretty straight-
forward, but I have no idea how the cobalt's are run, sooo... Not
sure I can help you much.
