If you already have company-a setup in your DNS, just add a CNAME entry in
the hosts file for that domain such as:
IN NS ns1.synwork.com.
IN NS ns1.phoenix.net.
IN MX 10 synwork.com.
ns1 IN CNAME synwork.com.
synwork.com. IN A 199.3.234.4
synwork.com. IN A 204.120.255.17
ns2 IN A 204.120.255.18
If you need more help, let me know.
