Creating CNAME to delegated domain

We are trying to configure F5 to do load balancing on 4 sub domains similar to this article...

http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/0000/200/sol277.html

For Example

prod.wip.example.com. NS F5NS1.example.com.
prod.wip.example.com. NS F5NS2.example.com.
test.wip.example.com. NS F5NS1.example.com.
test.wip.example.com. NS F5NS2.example.com.

Then we want to make cnames instead of delegating individual sub-domains, e.g.

myapp.example.com CNAME prod.wip.example.com

Microsoft DNS gives an error when I attempt to make the CNAME...

dnscmd ns1 /recordadd example.com myapp CNAME myapp.prod.wip.example.com.

Command failed: DNS_ERROR_NOT_ALLOWED_UNDER_DELEGATION 9563 (0000255b)

The error makes perfect sense, but does anyone know of a way around it? Or are my NS records incorrect for this setup?

Thank you, -Steve

• What you showed in:

  myapp.example.com CNAME prod.wip.example.com

  Is different of:

  dnscmd ns1 /recordadd example.com myapp CNAME myapp.prod.wip.example.com.

  Do you want myapp.example.com to point to prod.wip.example.com or myapp.prod.wip.example.com?

  In both case if myapp.example.com is another zone than example.com you must type:

  dnscmd ns1 /recordadd myapp.example.com myapp CNAME myapp.prod.wip.example.com.

• You should try it in the gui first and see if it still errors out.

  If it does not, then it is your command line that is the problem.
