[Pdns-users] Nameservers are same domain as a domain that uses them - subdomains don't work!

Brandon,

I think that any subdomain will need NS and SOA records.
You should be able to define A records in your parent domain
without these:

NS mydomain.com ns1.mydomain.com
A turkey.mydomain.com in domain mydomain.com
A turkey.chicken.mydomain.com in domain mydomain.com

It works for me with v 2.9.20.
