On Microsoft DNS server (Windows Server 2012): We have a DNS Zone for domain.com

We need to create the following SRV record: _xmpp-server._tcp.child.domain.com => target is = host.domain.com

Can we create SRV records for child.domain.com without having to create a new DNS zone for "child" domain?

If the domain child.domain.com nowhere delegated from authoritative servers for the domain domain.com. And separate zone for the domain child.domain.com not present, the SRV record _xmpp-server._tcp.child.domain.com can be created without problems in the domain zone domain.com.

  • Are you sure I can create SRV records for child.domain.com in the domain.com zone? I know we do this on Route 53 or other DNS services, but on a Windows DNS the UI for creating new SRV record does not allow me to change the domain value – HashSRVDNS Jan 17 '17 at 04:16
  • [@HashSRVDNS](http://serverfault.com/users/395207/hashsrvdns) in Windows GUI simple insert `_xmpp-server._tcp.child` in hostname field - it will autocreate all nessesary folders for you. – Slipeer Jan 17 '17 at 06:02
