title: How can I create a subdomain in AWS Route53 when the parent domain is also configured in Route53?
body: <p>I have one domain name registered in an AWS Hosted zone. It comprises of 5 records viz A, SOA, NS (4 ns addresses), MX and CNAME. But now, I want to create a Subdomain : <code>static.domain.com</code>. I have read <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/CreatingNewSubdomain.html" rel="nofollow">Creating a Subdomain That Uses Amazon Route 53 as the DNS Service without Migrating the Parent Domain</a> article from AWS doc but clearly that is not my case. My domain name is configured in the Route53 itself. </p>
  
  <p>So if I have to create a hosted zone for the <code>static.domain.com</code> and update the NS records in the parent's hosted zone <code>domain.com</code> then I can just do that but I am confused if that's gonna work or destroy my whole configuration!</p>
  
  <p>So guys, please tell me how to create the subdomain <code>static.domain.com</code> when my parent domain <code>domain.com</code> is also in the Route53?</p>
  
  <p><strong>FYI :</strong> I am creating this subdomain to serve static content from an s3 bucket which will be configured as an static website and will be aliased against this subdomain <code>static.domain.com</code> so that all static requests are can be fetched as <code>http://static.domain.com/resources/path/to/dir/image.png</code> etc.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks very much</p>
