I want to add a subdomain (john.mydomain.com) like that, when someone registers to one of my services, I run a DNS server, and I'm wondering what is needed to do this from ASP, or ASP.NET.
I can do it manually on the DNS and IIS server, but it would be great if this could be done programatically, therefor automating the system.
Each subdomain would be served from a different directory with the same name, created at the time of registration.
I would prefer doing it with ASP, but if it can only be done from .NET, then so be it.
Anyone?

I'm not sure how you'd do that, but my gut reaction is that you'll need
a COM object in ASP to do the real work. As for .NET, not sure, but if
it can be done, then you should be able to do it in .NET without COM.
Then again, I'm just shooting in the dark.
I'd look into how you can interact with the DNS service through .Net
for an answer - as well as IIS where you'd create a new site
automatically.
Search engine spammers do a lot of this type of thing on Apache and
PHP, but I don't know what tools they use other than the httpd Apache
file.
I hope that kindof helps...

To create a new IIS site you can use WMI (Windows Management
Intrumentation) with .NET. You can also access WMI using ASP/COM using
WScript I think.
Here's how to do it in C#, the basics should be the same in ASP http://weblogs.asp.net/jezell/archive/2003/09/17/27869.aspx - http://weblogs.asp.net/jezell/archive/2003/09/17/27869.aspx
I'm guessing that creating a subdomain on your DNS server will be
specific to your server, take a look throught the docs. It will no
doubt have some kinda COM API
