Ok , this should be an easy answer to any experienced DNS admin.
I have two servers, and countrydog.com domain.
Say the internic is pointed to server 1 for this domain but the actual
resource records are on server 2. What I have is on server 1:
@ server1.innercite.com. root.countrydog.com. (
1999090501 ; serial number
10800 ; secondary refresh interval
3600 ; secondary retry interval
864000 ; secondary expire after about 10 days
3600 ) ; TTL
IN NS server2.innercite.com.
innercite.com is the domain for our ISP and is working just fine.
Now I was hoping when the queries for stuff like mail.countrydog.com
came to server 1 it would simply give an NS answer and the client
resolver would go ask server2.innercite.com for the answer.
When I do a dig country.com @a.root-servers.net it comes back always
with the two name servers I registered. But when I try to do a dig
countrydog.com @127.0.0.1 from server1 it just prints out the soa
record and never references to the NS record.
Do I need to do something with the SOA record to be able to do this sort
of ns redirection?
