I am using an external DNS from the domain name register (both primary
and secondary are pointing to the registers Name Servers). I have
several sub-domains which some of them point to servers in my
infrastructure.

I have 2 AD Zone Windows 2003 DNS in my domain controllers.

My Question:

As long as is a wise solution - How can I create my own subdomains in
the Windows DNS and have them be public?

I want to do this but still have the register's name servers be the
one that resolve for our website, (www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com)

How would you handle taht?

I just want to add that the website domain would be like
mycompanyname.com and my AD domain is mycompanyname.com

Read inline please.

Create the sub domains named with the FQDN, e.g. subdomain.mydomain.com,
then have the zone delegated from the servers with Authority over
mydomain.com.

I doubt that you could because it would require you to be able to create a
Delegation in your zone at your registrar.
It not that it couldn't be done, it is a question of whether you can
actually create the delegation. Most Registrars only allow A, MX and CNAME
records and possibly TXT records, no NS records. You could possibly contact
your registrar directly and have them create the delegation, if they would.
The worst possible thing they could do is say no.

I do know that some of the DNS web interfaces at some registrars and DNS
providers allow you to create A records with multi-label names, e.g.
www.subdomain, or even *.subdomain (the * is a wildcard which allows
anyname.subdomain.mydomain.com to resolve to this IP)
