Thanks. BTW just to confirm that I don't need to make any changes in configuration or in zone file regarding the existing mms.ora.com?

Yes, that sounds about right. In the file db.mms (for the mms. zone)
you would insert an A record for the origin, not for a host called mms
(which would end up being mms.mms.) So, if the IP address for
mms.ora.com is 192.0.2.1, your zone file for mms. would look something
like this:
---
mms. IN SOA name.server.ora.com. admin.name.server.ora.com. (
2008081812
30m
15m
7d
1h )
IN NS name.server.ora.com.
IN A 192.0.2.1

Good luck,
Matt
