Hi,

Is there a RFC determining which nameserver to use if there is a conflicting subdomain delegation?

eg:
In the zone of a.com <http://a.com>, there are two NS delegations:

b.a.com <http://b.a.com> NS host1
c.b.a.com <http://c.b.a.com> NS host2

On host1 in zone b.a.com <http://b.a.com>, there is
c.b.a.com <http://c.b.a.com> NS host3

As you can see, there is a conflicting delegation for c.b.a.com <http://c.b.a.com>. If I look a name d.c.b.a.com <http://d.c.b.a.com>, will the nameserver host2 or host3 be used?
dig +trace seems to go to host2, but bind9 as a resolver goes to host3.
(the test was done on a centos7).

Any ideas?
Thanks!

I would expect that behavior if the Bind9 resolver was setup to query host1.  If bind9 queries a server that is authoritive for b.a.com, I would expect that result.  If the bind9 resolver is setup to query a recursive only server(other than host1), I would expect the same behavior as the +trace result.

so I think the answer is dependant on how your bind9 resolver is configured.
