I have a windows 2000 domain with Microsoft DNS running. I use a single
label domain name (ie one without a "dot"). All memebers of my domain
accessing a particular subdomain in the internet say
www.subdomain.google.com should be directed to a local ip. At the same
time access to www.google.com should be to the original google server
in the internet. is it possible?

thanks in advance

Actually all domain names have a "." -- at the end
(whether you see it written or not).

But we know what you mean by Single Label DNS name.

If you put in a "zone" for that (very) specific name,
www.subdomain.google.com and add an A record
with the same (as parent) name.

All this assumes that you can NOW resolve other
google names -- it will continue to work but shortcircuit
it for the specific name/zone it holds itself.

Yes, create a new forward lookup zone named www.subdomain.google.com, then
in that zone create a new host, leave the name field blank and give it the
IP address you want the name to point to. Note- Win2k DNS will bark at you
saying (same as parent folder) is not a valid host name, click OK to create
the record anyway.
This way only www.subdomain.google .com will resolve locally, while
www.google.com will be resolved by your forwarder or your DNS will contact
the Root to resolve the name.

I'm not sure what this has to do with your single-label domain name, that is
a totally separate issue, with a totally different fix.
