ZoneEdit considers a zone anything you need sub records for so the A record for sub.domain.com lives in the domain.com zone but if thats all you need its just a zone credit for domain.com.
If you needed an MX record off the sub.domain.com it would be a new zone, according to ZoneEdit. I believe Ive even setup A records as sub1.sub2.domain.com and it only counted as 1 zone credit because it was under the domain.com zone and that's all I needed. The other things you can use "zone credits" for include adding a backup MX service they host, or adding additional name servers beyond the two they provide for free. I've been using them for years and have had no problems - I think I've had something like 30-40 zones with them. - Andy O. ________________________________________ From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 28, 2007 11:06 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Looking for a DNS provider AFAIK: Each unique namespace is its own DNS zone. Anything between a "." is break in the namespace, and thus makes it unique. I dunno how ZoneEdit makes its own distinctions for the benefit of their services, but nested subdomains constitute multiple DNS zones. ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
