Hi Luca,

If I understand your question correctly, you want to add a new subdomain to
your domain "annoying.com"

It's enough to add a new "A" record and not "NS" in your case, like bellow:


| name              | type | content
                       |
+-------------------+------+---------------------------------
-------------------------------------+
| annoying.com      | SOA  | ns0.ninefold.com hostmaster.annoying.com 7
10800 3600 604800 3600     |
| annoying.com      | NS   | ns3.ninefold.com
                      |
| annoying.com <http://test.annoying.com/>      | NS   | ns4.ninefold.com

| sub1.annoying.com <http://test.annoying.com/> | A    |
1<http://ns3.ninefold.com/>
0.10.10.10                                                           |
| sub2.annoying.com <http://test.annoying.com/> | A    |
1<http://ns4.ninefold.com/>
0.10.10.11                                                          |
+-------------------+------+---------------------------------
-------------------------------------+

For NS records, you don't have to put anything before "annoying.com" in
"name" field, you should put the FQDN name of the NS server in the
"content".
That means, the NS record for "annoying.com" is the "ns3.annoying.com".

I hope I could help a little bit :)

Mohamed
