[Web4lib] Using DNS to assign a name to a host on a different domain

[John Fitzgibbon]

Hi,
 
Is it possible to use DNS to assign a name to a host on a different
domain? For example, I control the domain galwaylibrary.ie. The domain
clarelibrary.ie is controlled by someone else. Is it possible for me to
point clare.galwaylibrary.ie at the IP address of www.clarelibrary.ie
<http://www.clarelibrary.ie/> ? In other words, does DNS work across
domains or only within domains?
 
Any enlightenment would be much appreciated.
 
Regards
John
