[Pdns-users] Authority Question

[Michoel Kazen]

Hey,

The idea was to have domain.com delegated to 2.3.4.5. I know I can
delegate a subdomain to another server, but I wanted to delegate the
whole domain I am authoritive for to a third part. I actually
accomplished this by adding an SOA for .com and then said domain.com NS
2.3.4.5 which works.

Thanks again,

You delegate a subdomain.

the record looks like:

domain.com   NS   1.2.3.4
sub.domain.com   NS   2.3.4.5
www.domain.com   A   1.2.3.5
www.sub.domain.com   (you don't care, you delegated it to 2.3.4.5
