Using different NS records for a subdomain

Hey there

I'm working with a .ca domain, say "whatever.ca"
Is it possible to have "whatever.ca" point to:



While "sub.whatever.ca" point to a different set of NS records?



Also, how do I query a subdomain's NS using dig?
Would the following query work?



Thanks

Any domain can have any NS records essentially. Example.com could use testdomain.com's name servers as long as they are authoritative. If you are doing a sub domain, I would recommend making another zone file for it rather than use the $ORIGIN function in a zone. But that's entirely up to you.

In dig you can query for NS records by doing what you typed. If you want to query a particular server, you specify it using the @ symbol. Like so:



The order doesn't matter in most cases, dig is a pretty lenient tool.

Perfect...thanks very much for the quick response!
