problem with domain and sub-domain configuration

Did you wait for the records to time out of the cache?

A "forward" zone is not a zone in the RFC 1034 sense.  It it a
namespace where the nameserver does not follow the normal resolution
path.  If you want cr.test.com to see the change make "test.com" a
slave zone and list cr.test.com as a nameserver for the zone.  That
way the notifation process will know to send NOTIFY messages to it.
