Here is how to create the subdomain.domain.com A records under GUI:

from DNS of the Domain.com choose to add "A" records:

then enter:

1. Choose to add A record:

www as the host,
change 'Domain name' to subdomain.domain.com (in the same box)
enter IP address for the subdomain
Do NOT check reverse dns
Click Save

2. Choose to add another A record:

enter nothing (leave blank) as the host,
change 'Domain name' to subdomain.domain.com (in the same box)
enter IP address for the subdomain
Do NOT check reverse dns
Click Save.

3. Click Update DNS.

4. Now if you want, you can make a virtual site for the subdomain.domain.com 
as below or make the changes to httpd.conf to make it point to a directory on 
the server.

Anyway, to make a virtual site:

Create a virtual site and:
enter www in host name
enter subdomain.domain.com in domain name field.
Leave email settings blank
select the other options as required and SAVE.
