More info?)
Thanks for your reply, after reading I noticed the example I gave wasn't
ideal. The tld of the domain in question is non-standard (e.g. ".sample").
So could i do something like? ;
To forward requests for the "test.sample" to a specific server
- Create a new zone "sample"
- Create a new delegated sub domain called "test" (test.sample) with
the NS set to the server that is able to serve it (e.g. ns.test.sample) ?
So then any requests for test.sample will be forwarded to ns.test.sample?
This obviously makes a difference because the ".sample" tld will not have
any other additional hosts asides from the "test" one.
Thanks again
Joe
