Windows server - but WP blog subdomain on a second server

We have the main site located on a Win server. We need to add a wp blog component. Our plan is to have a second server housing the blog as a sub domain. The proper way to do this is a 301 re-direct from the main site to the subdomain on the linux server. I do not want to run into problems with either having page rank not being passed or worst sent to the sandbox.

What is the best way to work this?

Point the blog.example.com subdomain directly to the WP/Apache server's IP address in your DNS zone file -- No redirects needed (or desirable).

This is exactly what subdomains a.k.a. "hostnames" were intended for -- same domain, different host. :)
