with subject: NS record for subzone definition

2012-03-13 Thread hugo hugoo 

Dear all,
 
I have a problem in the understanding of the creation of a subzone.
Here the situation; let's call the name server ns1.xxx.be
 
 
I have zone "toto.be" with some records (not important)
 
In the same name server, I want to create the subzone "titi.toto.be" with some 
records.
 
 
==> do I have to create in zone "toto.be" the following NS record:
 
 titi.toto.be.   TTL   IN   NSns1.xxx.be
 
 
I have found cases where this situation is present and other when it is not 
present...and both cases seems to work.
What is the difference?
   
 
thanks for any feedback,
 
Hugo,.

Yes, you should create the NS records. If you are using the exact same set of 
servers for the subzone as for the child, and are not using DNSSEC, you can get 
away without the NS records, but you shouldn't get into this bad habit.
