probably my question had been answered elsewhere but I could not find it yet.

One of our clients is about change DNS provider to our (also hosted) DNS provider.

They provided the zone file.
I have created a zone (toto.com) for them added A and MX records.

What I am worried about to see some NS records like

hq              IN NS   dns1.learndirect.co.uk.
hq              IN NS   dns2.learndirect.co.uk. 
hq              IN NS   ns3.learndirect.net.
hq              IN NS   ns4.learndirect.net.

dr              IN NS   dns1.learndirect.co.uk. 
dr              IN NS   dns2.learndirect.co.uk. 
dr              IN NS   ns4.learndirect.net. 
dr              IN NS   ns3.learndirect.net.

I am not sure what to do with them.

When I dig them I do not get IP address but a SOA record.

... ;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
hq.toto.com.        1800    IN  SOA dns1.learndirect.co.uk. TOTO.hostmaster.toto.com. 2016083100 10800 3600 864000 1800 ...

I can not add NS record to my hosted provider management interface anyway.

I suppose they are there for reason, but how can I doublecheck it?

Those are the start of a subdomain record... hq.toto.com is a subdomain, and it will use those nameservers...

If you get SOA record as response, this mean that there is no other record for this host (subdomain).

  • Thanks, in that case I do not need to worry about those when transferring the zone because they don't convey any services. – Czollli Feb 06 '17 at 11:37
