So, let me re-iterate:
There is absolutely no possible way to create a subdomain without having
a DNS entry for it.
Of course, there are always ways to hide that from the user, such as
cPanel type interfaces. There is also the evil concept of wildcard DNS

You don't do that in DNS. DNS doesn't work that way.
You need to point it at a server with, say, Apache, then configure
Apache to do the redirect.

I stick by my statement that there absolutely has to be a DNS entry for
