GTM delegate sub zone to another DNS server.

Good evening

 

We have a need to delegate a sub zone. Do I need to create a new zone and direct the NS records to the new server or just create resource records under the parent as NS records to the new server.

 

Was going to use this: Parent exist test.com

 

Create delegate.test.com zone NS = new.dns.server.com

 

Or is this the same: Under the existing test.com Create resource record delegate.test.com NS = new.dns.server.com

 

Many thanks!

    I have done this and wish I had access to it... if I recall correctly... :)

     

    On the test.com DNS server, you will have to create a new zone with the DNS listener IP of the sub zone. Also you will need A and NS record that point to the new zone.

     

    --Basically copy test.com's SOA and plug in the new sub-zone 'delegate'
