senario-I have a main site which is registered ex
mydomain.com, another location 20Kilometers away is more
or less a satellite branch. Can they set up there DNS in
the following manor. satellite.mydomain.com or do they
have to register a the name satellite.mydomain.com in
order to use this

Your question strongly suggests you misunderstand (and need to ask
more questions) but I will just answer it first:

YOU can "delegate" satellite.domain.com FROM domain.com -- in that
that is pretty much the way it MUST be done. If you own and run Domain.com
then you are responsible (authoritative) for EVERTHING from there down.

All this presumes you really wish to delegate and create the child zone
satellite.
 
To add to Herb's post, your post and description is suggesting that the
satellite office is a child domain. Is that true? There seems to be some
discrepancy in the terminology being used too, which makes it difficult,
maybe as Herb suggested, a misunderstanding on how this whole thing works.

Does the satellite office have a router that is going to
have a public IP address bound to it? Most likely not. At
the least I wouldn't want that kind of traffic flowing
over my WAN. I think what you are asking is can they be
divided into the satellite.mydomain.com ? Yes, they can by
configuring your own DNS server. Unless for some reason
you will have a server (or service) that is running at
their office that people from around the WWW will try to
conenct to there will be no need to get your ISP involved.
If you do have a server (or service) at their office I'd
move it immediately to your site. Configuring a network in
this manner is unsecure and a poor waste of WAN bandwidth.

Hope this helps
