SUMMARY
Depending on the steps you take to delegate a subzone to a different server
by means of Domain Name System (DNS) Manager, you may or may not be
required to stop and restart the DNS service.
MORE INFORMATION
If you follow these steps, you will not need to restart the DNS server
service:
- In DNS Manager, select the zone and right click.
- Select New Domain and type the name of the subzone to be delegated.
(For example, for zone nc.ms.com, subzone proto.)
- Select the newly created subzone and right-click.
- Select Add New HOST, and enter the name and IP address of the DNS
server to which the subzone will be delegated.
- Select the new subzone and right click.
- Select Add New Record/NS Record and type the fully qualified domain
name (FQDN) (for example, machine.proto.nc.ms.com) of the DNS server to
which the subzone will be delegated.
- Select the zone and refresh; the delegation is now active.
If you follow the same steps as above, but reverse step four and step six
(create the NS record before the A record), you will need to restart the
DNS server service--the delegation is not active until the DNS server
service is stopped and restarted.
