dear dns gurus,
i have setup a small w2k3 domain called testcompany.local in a w2k3
environment. dns i have setup on a dc called dc01.testcompany.local then i
created a child domain called west.testcompany.local. the dns namespace i
did not delegate to the new domain, so dc01.testcompany.local is also
responsible for west.testcompany.local.
now i only can find a soa record for testcompany.local. where is the soa
record for west.testcompany.local ?

thank you very much
tim

It would be in the west.testcompany.local forward lookup zone, if you had
one, since this domain does not have a separate zone, there would be no SOA
record for west.testcompany.local, because it is a subdomain of
testcompany.local.

The SOA record is used for zone information, (such as master servers) not
domain information. Secondary servers use the SOA record to tell them where
the master is, how long the zone is good, when and how often to refresh its
info from the master.
