[Pdns-users] No delegation in parent zone

[Alexander Varejão]

Dears,

The problem I bring here today is probably something simple, but
unfortunately, I couldn't find any clear answers to it.

I'm testing PowerDNS and plan to migrate some zones from BIND to it.

I created a virtual machine for testing and put a fictitious parent zone
and a subzone on it.

The parent zone is "ancientmariner.com" (yes, I'm an Iron Maiden fan)

When I check it, I don't find any problems:

root at pdns-master1:/home/vagrant# pdnsutil check-zone ancientmariner.com
Mar 07 16:51:17 [bindbackend] Done parsing domains, 0 rejected, 0 new, 0
removed
Checked 9 records of 'ancientmariner.com', 0 errors, 0 warnings.

Then I created the fictitious subzone "rime.ancientmariner.com" (yes, I'm a
huge Iron Maiden fan)

But unlike the parent zone, when I check it, I find problems:

root at pdns-master1:/home/vagrant# pdnsutil check-zone rime.ancientmariner.com
Mar 07 16:53:56 [bindbackend] Done parsing domains, 0 rejected, 0 new, 0
removed
[Error] No delegation for zone 'rime.ancientmariner.com' in parent '
ancientmariner.com'
Checked 5 records of 'rime.ancientmariner.com', 1 errors, 0 warnings.

The zones were edited as follows:

=> ancientmariner.com

root at pdns-master1:/home/vagrant# pdnsutil list-zone ancientmariner.com
Mar 07 16:55:40 [bindbackend] Done parsing domains, 0 rejected, 0 new, 0

$ORIGIN .
rime.ancientmariner.com 3600 IN A 10.200.12.152
rime.ancientmariner.com 3600 IN NS ns1.ancientmariner.com.
rime.ancientmariner.com 3600 IN NS ns2.ancientmariner.com.
rime.ancientmariner.com 3600 IN SOA ns1.ancientmariner.com
hostmaster.rime.ancientmariner.com 2 10800 3600 604800 3600

How can I fix this error? How would I delegate the "rime.ancientmariner.com"
zone to the parent zone "ancientmariner.com"?

I am very inexperienced with DNS and also with PowerDNS, so I greatly
appreciate the guidance and (if possible) an example with command line ;)
