Hey purldator, thanks for taking some time to help me out.

Here is the structure I’d like to have:

`example.com`

contains all the static site stuff

`discourse.example.com`

contains discourse

I want to just link to `discourse.example.com` from `example.com` and then have the same header on `discourse.example.com` if that makes sense.

Do I just need to point my subdomain at the discourse IP address?  
Will that work properly? Is there anything I need to do with the NS records?

Thanks again.
