Set up BIND on your box, and set yourself as your domain's primary. Then
put your local machine as the primary DNS in your system(s) and set the ISP
DNS servers as secondary and tertiary. If you set up forwarding to your ISP
DNS in your BIND configuration, then your "local" DNS server will provide
authoritative answers (internally) to whatever you have configured in BIND,
and will request info from the other DNS servers for anything that it
doesn't "know."
Once you have this set up and working, talk to the site hosting your domain
about doing zone transfers from you (they'll be slave, you'll be master.)
Then you can add and remove sub-domains to your domain at will.
I've recently set this up at work. I would give you some example configs,
but the box is at work, and I'm at home. :-)
