How many subdomains can you have on the intranet v internet

Apologies as this is a developer asking questions about networking

Internally we use names such as

myname.subdomain.domain.co.uk

Apparently this is because we using a forest(?). My question is, is this a name that can be accessed via the internet as well as the intranet

If this is in the wrong category please change it

    "So, if the server that is going to host your sub sub domain has IP 1.2.3.4, your DNS records should be like this :

    sub2.sub1.domain.com.       A     1.2.3.4
www.sub2.sub1.domain.com.   A     1.2.3.4

    If you want to use CNAME records :

    sub2.sub1.domain.com.       A       1.2.3.4
www.sub2.sub1.domain.com.   CNAME   sub2.sub1.domain.com."
