I've tried (and failed) to implement this previously - I'd like to try again. I 
haven't found an explicit example for this in the pdns documentation - possibly 
because this is a "straight" DNS question and *shouldn't* be implementation 
specific...but I'm admitting ignorance all around.

I understand how to define a "basic" zone (at least, they work...). And, I've 
been able to register domains with various services and access those domains 
via the public internet. What I don't know how to do - because I still don't 
fully understand DNS resolution - is how to declare/publish a sub-domain.

Given a published zone of ".myzone.com" - I want to have a list of hosts like:

a.sub.myzone.com
b.sub.myzone.com
c.sub.myzone.com

Nothing special. I can implement this by explicitly declaring each host in my 
parent zone - and this works. But I want to manage the subdomain separately. So 
besides creating a zone ".sub.myzone.com" and adding the host records - what 
other "glue" is required?

Do I need to explicitly publish ".sub.myzone.com" with my registrar?

Do I place NS records for ".sub.myzone.com" in the parent zone?

Do I place NS records for ".sub.myzone.com" in the sub-zone?

Do I need to explicitly declare a forward-zone for ".sub.myzone.com" in 
addition to the parent zone?

Any help would be appreciated - and I think the docs could benefit from this 
explicit example.
