Here is a non-subdomained address:

Name: aa6hf.ampr.org Address: 44.17.0.128 aa6hf.ampr.org mail exchanger = 10 aa6hf.ampr.org. aa6hf.ampr.org mail exchanger = 20 linux.aa6hf.ampr.org.
As I thought it is just matter of term definition. I use subdomain as broad definiton of domain which is under some other domain.
By that definition this is subdomain. It is just hosted in the same DNS as top level domain.
*de.ampr.org nameserver = db0res.ampr.org.* de.ampr.org nameserver = db0fhn.efi.fh-nuernberg.de. de.ampr.org nameserver = ns.db0fhn.ampr.org. de.ampr.org nameserver = db0res.de.
I agree this is also subdomain.
The advantage of a delegated subdomain is that you can update your subdomain's DNS records without having to get someone else to do it.
The disadvantage is that someone must install, maintain, and operate a DNS server.
Atually, there are few quite nice online DNS service that provide DNS hosting for free.
http://afraid.org offers very simple user interface that allows anyone with any knowledge of what domain is to set what he needs.
http://xname.org/ is full powered DNS server, also free. It does require some advanced knowledge to set it up.
Thing is, when I asked to set ampr.org subdomain on my own DNS server, it was refused. It was said that it is not allowed, and all subdomains must be set on ampr portal.
My point is that prohibition should be removed. If one wants to set his own DNS for subdomain he should be let to.
