instead of entering www in your domain configuration, placed www.home instead. That should setup the 4th level domain "www.home.whateveryourdomainisand.tld".

Well maybe your software just doesn't allow it. It's always best to edit the domain file manually. If your software has a option to edit the raw zone file, then go for that.

is that the only way to do a 4th level domain?? it doesnt seem like its really a 4th level domain just a 3rd level domain with a . in the name...... can you point a third level domain to look at a nameserver to handle all requests for its 4th level?? kinda like the top-level is .com the next leve is .devshed the next is .forums... then lets say you point forums to look at a nameserver and add a my as the 4th level in that name server that forums is looking at??

What it IS is a 4th level domain. What it is NOT is a delegated or sub zone. You need to add a NS record to your zone to enable it.

[ns1.primaryserver.net]
$ORIGIN mydomain.com.
...stuff
delegated NS ns1.delegatedserver.net.
...stuff

[ns1.delegatedserver.net]
$ORIGIN delegatedserver.net.
...stuff
www A 127.0.0.1
...stuff

In the above example I delegated the "delegated.mydomain.com" domain to another server. On that server I configured www.delegated.mydomain.com to use 127.0.0.1 as the IP.
