Delegating a subdomain
DNS servers are organized hierarchically. You can delegate the name
server authority for subdomains of any domain served by the RaQ 3 to
other name servers.
For example, domain.com can be served authoritatively by a RaQ 3 by
defining an Address (A) Record using that domain. A subdomain, such
as remote.domain.com, can use its own set of DNS servers so that
domain authority can be shared between multiple physical sites. This
makes it easier to use multiple DNS servers in remote locations sharing
a common domain.
To delegate the subdomain naming authority to another name server:
1. On the Server Management screen, click Control Panel. The
Service Settings table appears.
2. Click Parameters next to the DNS service in the Service Settings
table.
3. Select the parent domain from the Select Domain or Network...
pull-down menu.
4. Select Delegate Subdomain from the Add... pull-down menu.
5. Specify the subdomain name and the qualified host name(s) of the
DNS server(s) that will be authoritative for that subdomain.
6. Click Save Changes.
7. Click Save Changes to DNS Server.
