DNS zone delegation

Hi,

Can someone tell me if I'm doing my zone delegations properly?

My test lab currently has 2 domains called srun.com and consulting.srun.com. Each domain has a DC which runs DNS and holds all operations masters and the GC.

In the srun.com DNS console, I created a new domain called consulting with an A record for the computer I want to host the delegated zone. Then I created a zone delegation in the srun.com domain with an NS record pointing to the same server as the A record. At this point, there are two folders under srun.com; one for the sub-domain and one for the delegation both called consulting.

On the computer that will host the delegated zone, I created a new Forware lookup zone called consulting.srun.com. I will then populate it with test records to see if the names can be resolved.

This should then cause any query sent to srun.com for a host in consulting.srun.com to be forwarded to the DNS server autoritative for the consulting domain right?
