a question about DNS subdomain

807559Dec 17 2005
This is a question about DNS subdomain.

The DNS server for the parent DNS domain is dns1.ours.com.
The DNS server for the child/sub DNS domain is bee.child.ours.com.

Configurations on dns1.ours.com:

File: db.ours.com�F
@IN SOA dns1.ours.com. postmaster.ours.com. (
10051215 ; sn
86400 ;refresh
7100 ;retry
777600 ;expire
126000 ) ;min
@ IN NS dns1.ours.com.
dns1 IN A 210.x.x.15
�c
[color=Blue]child.ours.com. IN NS bee.child.ours.com.
bee.child.ours.com. IN A 210.x.x.10[color]

I did not changed anything in named.conf.


Configurations on bee.child.ours.com:
File db.child.ours.com:
@ IN SOA bee.child.ours.com. test.child.ours.com (
10051215 ; sn
86400 ;refresh
7100 ;retry
777600 ;expire
126000 ) ;min
@ IN NS bee.child.ours.com.
bee IN A 210.x.x.10
test IN A 210.x.x.x

File named.conf:
options {
directory "/var/named";
};
zone "." {
type hint;
file "master/db.cache";
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "master/db.0.0.127";
};
zone "x.x.210.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "master/db.child.ours.com.rev";
};
zone "child.ours.com" {
type master;
file "master/db.child.ours.com";
};

//find the A record in the parent domain
test.child.ours.com

Non-authoritative answer:

//find the A record in the child domain

I wonder why. It is BIND v8.2.2.

Thanks.
