How to create a child DNS zones in Azure DNS

Question

we have a domain for example main.test.edu. Also we have a child domain child@main.test.edu. And all child domain records are currently in main.test.edu. Now we have a requirement to create webex@child.main.test.edu DNS record. Since all child.main.test.edu records are at root level this DNS entry is not able to create.

To create webex@child.main.test.edu, we need to create a child DNS zone child.main.test.edu

How we can create? Is it the right way?

Answer

@Manjunath Pai K [MAHE] ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

I am afraid your naming conventions are misleading.

When you say "we have a domain for example main.test.edu. Also we have a child domain child@main.test.edu"

Don't you mean you have records such as "www1.child**.main.test.edu" and "www2.child.**main.test.edu" ? (. and not @ )

The correct way to create a childzone in Azure is by following : Create a child DNS zone

Once done, you should be able to create new records such as "webex" within the newly created child zone "child.main.test.edu"
So, the effective record becomes "webex.child.main.test.edu"

If my understanding is incorrect, please do let me know and please elaborate your query so we can assist you better.

Thanks,

Kapil
