I'm noticing something I have never seen before. I'm in NT4 DNS Manager. I have a domain, called for example DOMAIN.COM.

I click on this domain.com entry, choose to add a new record/host and get the appropriate box up. I enter the host name (for this example we will call it dog) and its IP address.

So it should be dog.domain.com.

When I go an look into the domain service manager, under the entry for domain.com there is a plus sign with a folder beneath it called DOG.

I think it just made a sub-domain under the domain.com but that was not my intention!

If I look at the name records in the DOMAIN.COM section I do see the SOA,NS, etc in there including the A record for DOG.

When then did it add a subfolder beneath the DOMAIN.COM folder as well?

Any suggestions or recommendations as to what has happened or what I might have done wrong would be great!

I am currently setting up dog.domain.com to be an actual name server and have submitted it and the IP address to our registrar to get it going.

Thanks!
