>> Normally, do we create a separate zone for a subdomain?
No. You just add another record to the existing zone file.
>> or do I just add a CNAME record called "www.subdomain1" within the mydomain.com zone
Yes, but it's probably better to just add another A record instead of a CNAME record. Why -- because CNAME records have potential for misuse and may cause a caching nameserver to make another extra query to your nameserver. (The second section of http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/killa6.html has more, if you're interested in the technical details. Yes, I know this is a djbdns site, but the same principle is true whether you're using BIND, djbdns, Microsoft DNS or whatever)
