<p>You are getting "lucky" that they are on the same server and when asked about anything in the subdomain the server notices it loads it and answers for it. It is however a landmine waiting for someone in thee future. If you move the subdomain to another server without fixing the delegation the subdomain will disappear.</p>

So ... if we have <br>
<br>
<a href="http://exacttarget.com" target="_blank">exacttarget.com</a> delegated to ns1 and <a href="http://ns2.exacttarget.com" target="_blank">ns2.exacttarget.com</a> nameservers<br>
<br>
and ... we manage the <a href="http://s6.exacttarget.com" target="_blank">s6.exacttarget.com</a> zone file from ns1 and <a href="http://ns2.exacttarget.com" target="_blank">ns2.exacttarget.com</a> <br>
<br>
but we don't delegate s6 in the <a href="http://exacttarget.com" target="_blank">exacttarget.com</a> zone file ... forgot to enter it in the zone file ... <br>
<br>
how is it that <a href="http://s6.exacttarget.com" target="_blank">s6.exacttarget.com</a> and its contents resolve properly from everywhere?<br>
<br>
Seems BIND is helping us out behind the scenes somehow. Right? <br>
<br>
Confused. <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
