more on delegating subdomain

[Matt Kehler]

What I meant was that running tcpdump on wrha001ad01 nothing ever comes
into that nameserver at all. I'm not sure why.

Why would you expect to see requests "go out of your primary domain
nameserver"? Presumably by this you mean the wrha001ns04 nameserver.
Since
you've delegated ad.wrha.mb.ca to the nameserver
wrha001ad01.ad.wrha.mb.ca, queries for anything in that zone would go to
that nameserver instead.
