subdomain delegation problem

[peterve]

Hi,

I'm hosting mydomain.com on ns1.mydomain.com (primary server)
I have a secundary DNS server ns2.mydomain.com which hosts a secundary zone for mydomain.com


I want to add a subdomain called sub.mydomain.com
I went to the primary server and created a new domain under mydomain.com : sub
I added a 'A' record in sub.mydomain.com : ns3.sub.mydomain.com, pointing to the IP address of the third DNS server (which is another server than the other nameservers)

I added a NS record in sub.mydomain.com pointing to ns3.sub.mydomain.com
This record was automatically moved to the mydomain.com zone (but I guess this is normal)

Then on ns3.sub.mydomain.com, I create a primary zone sub.mydomain.com and added all the hosts in there, including ns3.sub.mydomain.com itself

From my clients, I can recolve all fqdn from mydomain.com,
and ns3.sub.mydomain.com as well (which looks normal because this record can be found in the primary server)

All other lookups (to .sub.mydomain.com) don't work...
On my secundary DNS server (ns2.mydomain.com), the new domain sub.mydomain.com does not show up under mydomain.com
(but when I make changes on the primary server to mydomain.com, these changes are changed on ns2.mydomain.com as well)

What is wrong here ?

Thanks

by the way :
ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com are NT4 servers,
ns3.sub.mydomain.com is a Windows 2000 machine (without AD)

ns1.mydomain.com has a forwarder to an internet ISP to resolve internet names... can this interfere with the NS records ??? ---------------------------------------------------------------------

I noticed something else

I works when I point my client to ns2.mydomain.com
When I open the DNS manager on ns2.mydomain.com, the sub.mydomain.com zone is there, and it contains all records.

When I do the same on the primary server, only the host record to ns3.sub.mydomain.com is there, the NS record seems to be gone...

where could it be ? what could have happened ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------
