no, it's a record under the main zone file.

Hi,

I swas this server and there are two zone flie

one is aaaa.domain.com.db

aaa.domian.com . 14400 IN A 12.12.12.12


other one is domain.db

aaa 14400 IN A 12.12.12.12


How does it work, does nameserver call main zone file first then
call subdomain ?

I am confused bit.


thanks

if its a delegated sub domain it can have its own zone, ie

billing.domain.com in NS dns1.domain.com

then dns1.domain.com has a zone for iblling.domain.com that has
john.billing.domain.com and on

PS tahts only if you are delegating your domain to another person/server
