Subdomain setup

[mastercc119]

Please someone give me clear steps to setup a subdomain on bind.

This has not worked on mydomain.com
In /var/named is created subdomain.mydomain.com zone file
In the zone file i simply have MX records for directing mail for the subdomain to my main mail server for which i want to receive the mail into a mailbox using virtusertable.

So in /etc/named.conf I went on to put the zone entry pointing to the zone file.

I send mail from the dns server, the mail is correctly directed to the mail server, but the mail server says subdomain.mydomain.com is an unknow host.

Help: clear steps to setup a subdomain. I gues I do not have to register it. Its under my domain.

regards
Chris

Under the main domain just put a MX record in as ...

subdomain.mydomain.com IN MX mailserver.address.com

mailserver.address.com IN A aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd

I did that and if I do an nslookup with set q=mx I get

*** dnsserver.mydoman.com can't find subdmain.mydomain.com: Server failed

Did i miss something?
