Looking for direction

I currently have "MYDOMAIN.COM" registered. The company
that registered "MYDOMAIN.COM " also host my public DNS
services. I have A records and MX records with them.
MYDOMAIN.COM runs W2K and EX2K in a small office and
every thing is working well sending and receiving mail. I
have reviewed the DNSreport at DNSreport.com and
everything is looks well. Another small branch office has
been opened at another geographical location (10 Miles
away). I have divided the DNS zone on my public DNS
servers to "NEWOFFICE.MYDOMAIN.COM. with the proper MX
and A records. The server at NEWOFFICE.MYDOMAIN.COM in
also running W2K and Ex2K and DNS on this server is
configured NEWOFFICE.MYDOMAIN.COM. My problem is that I
have not configured anything at the MYDOMAIN.COM server
so when I try and run a DNSreport for
NEWOFFICE.MYCOMAIN.COM I get the following
response. "[ERROR: The parent servers say that the domain
NEWOFFICE.MYDOMAIN.COM does not have any NS records
(although they may have some other information on that
zone). I can not do a DNS report on a hostname (such as
mail.example.com) or a domain name that does not have its
own zone.]. I am assuming this is because no
authorization or configuration has been done at the
MYDOMAIN.COM server. Any direction for this configuration
would be appreciated or referral to documentation is
appreciated.

Thanks
 
Hi,

You have to add new NEWOFFICE.MYDOMAIN.COM host name servers in the NS
records of MYDOMAIN.COM in the DNS zone.

Check if this is working.

<snip>

1) Setup the "newoffice.mydomain.com" server to allow zone
transfer to the "mydomain.com" server, also add the latter
IP address to the notify list

2) Create a secondary zone "newoffice.mydomain.com" on the
"mydomain.com" DNS server and point it to the "newoffice"
DNS as master server, let the zone transfer as needed

3) Wait for the changes to properly propagate (if needed)

4) Repeat the dnsreport test

Let me/us know
