In this video i will create a delegated DNS zone.

 
In this lab, you will create a delegated DNS zone for another server.
  1. In the DNS window, expand the DNS server and locate the sybex.com zone.
  2. Right-click the zone and choose the New Delegation command.
  3. The New Delegation Wizard appears. Click Next to dismiss the initial wizard page.
  4. Enter ns1 in the Delegated Domain field of the Delegated Domain Name page. Click Next to complete this step.
    • This is the name of the domain for which you want to delegate authority to another DNS server. It should be a subdomain of the primary domain.
  5. When the Name Servers page appears, use the Add button to add the name and IP address(es) of the servers that will be hosting the newly delegated zone. For the purpose of this exercise, enter the zone name you used in Exercise 6.1. Click the Resolve button to automatically resolve this domain name’s IP address into the IP address field. Click Add to add the resolved address to the list. Click OK when you are done. Click Next to continue with the wizard.
  6. Click the Finish button. The New Delegation wizard disappears and you’ll notice the new zone you just created appear beneath the zone you selected in step 1. The newly delegated zone’s folder icon is drawn in gray to indicate that control of the zone is delegated.
