Re: Do I use delgation records for this?

Ok, here is my solution - create a primary zone for abc.com and create
delegated subdomains (not additional zones) for each record that I want
handled externally. Then I create my own A, cname, or other records
inside the zone for records I want handled internally. This seems to
work OK. I just wish I could get a wildcard delegation to work.

At least this way I don't have to maintain a copy of all of the
external records and update them when they change. This also keeps my
own DNS cleaner, as I only have one zone with delegated subdomains as
opposed to multiple zones. I will have to create a delegation record
each time soemthing is added to the external zone however.
