Since this is a different domain, you need to create a new zone for it in
your named.conf, and create the corresponding zone file. You don't add it to
your existing zone for uwic.ac.uk, it is separate from that.
You should also check the delegation, both servers referenced in whois don't
know this domain, and neither do the co.uk cctld name servers:
Record last updated on 30-Oct-2001.
Record expires on 02-Aug-2011.
Record created on 01-Aug-1997.
Database last updated on 6-Nov-2001 00:54:00 EST.

Make sure you put the trailing dot "." at the end of cardiffgroup.ac.uk.

Hi all,
I have been asked to host a domain, or at least, an IP address which is
outside of our current domain. I have been told that Nominet have been
informed that we have ownership of the new domain and that they know our DNS
servers to refer to.
Our current domain is xxx.uwic.ac.uk. We also have sub-domains
xxx.yyy.uwic.ac.uk, and they work too.
I have been asked to host www.cardiffgroup.co.uk - intended to be a
webserver within our control/site.
I dont see where I can set a record for this in our DNS which will work...
www.cardiffgroup.co.uk IN A 195.194.133.227
This obviously isnt right as it lookup brings back
Name: www.cardiffgroup.co.uk.uwic.ac.uk
Address: 195.194.133.227
How do I tell my domain to deal with something which effectively isnt
supposed to be there?
Thanks
Neal.
