Anyone here know DNS well?

we have 2 DNS servers hosted in our office, since we have AD/DC, just the standard Server 2008 DNS installation.

We have a url (abc123.com, to which we have pointed to dynip.com to do url redirection for subdomains.

sub01.abc123.com points to 1.1.1.1/htdocs/reports
sub02.abc123.com points to 1.1.1.1/htdocs/purdypics

their customer response time has been less then stellar since their client application does not let you direct a subdomain to a directory URL, only a direct IP, it has been one week to redirect a URL we have to a new directory, with no response and i cant tolerate that.

We have many directory based sites on the same server we use for reporting.

How can i go about redirecting one of our domains to our own DNS servers and then create our own subdomains and point them where i want them to go?
 
Seems the solution is just use a A record on the reg. site and point to my webserver and go from there, not sure why i was thinking i needed DNS..lol
