Then your "parent" in OID space defines that type of record to point to your resolution server, instead of an NS record. It's very similar to a wildcard MX record. You don't have to register an MX record for foo.bar.com to accept mail for foo.bar.com. An MX record for *.bar.com is sufficient. Keith
