more on delegating subdomain

[Kevin Darcy]

Ah, I understand now.

Are you using forwarding, by any chance? Any nameserver which is
authoritative for wrha.mb.ca but *not* authoritative for ad.wrha.mb.ca will
forward queries (instead of following the delegation), if that is its
default behavior for resolving names outside of its authoritative zones.
