If I would like a client to use HIS DNS for a 3rd level domain name (ie test.domain.com), how would I be able to do that?

So I have domain servers ns1.domain.com + ns2.domain.com for domain.com but now I want ns1.rabbit.com and ns2.rabbit.com for test.domain.com.

How can this be done? I know it's possible because I saw it at some providers.

Then, as a second part (and related) part; how to set up a WHOIS for that test.domain.com? So that, if you query my server for the information about test.domain.com, it'll be different than the info on domain.com?

Thanks

  • Whois: not at all. Subdomain are not managed by public infrastructure, so you do not have to provide them. If you do (are sort of a registry), get a whois server.

  • Just enter delegations for the relevant zone (the term domain does actually not exist in this context in DNS - RTFM) to the dns servers of your client. He is then responsible for making his DNS servers authoritative for this zone.

That sounds logical. Thanks. So you mean to put, in the zone record test.domain.com. 86400 IN NS ns1.rabbit.com etc? That should do it right? Thanks again. – user45339 Jun 14 '10 at 11:15
