Delegating a domain

In network environments where primary or secondary DNS servers are installed, create a delegation map for the new domain to the new DNS server. The new DNS server must be where the resource records for AirPrint advertisement and services discovery are maintained. Delegation mapping lets AirPrint devices locate the LPM server without adding the records required for AirPrint advertisement to the existing DNS servers. Make sure that the IP address of the new DNS server is added to the list of DNS servers on the client devices or computers.

Note: Setting up a delegation is not necessary when adding the resource records to a parent DNS server. It is also not necessary when the new server installation is the only network DNS server. For more information on your environment, contact your system administrator.
  1. From the primary or secondary DNS server, navigate to the Windows Administrative Tools window, and then click DNS.
    Note: The primary DNS server is the parent DNS server of your organization or the new DNS server that you are installing.
  2. Right‑click the zone or domain where you want to create a delegation, and then click New Delegation > Next.
  3. Specify the name of the subdomain to delegate, and then click Next > Add.
  4. Specify the IP address of the DNS server that contains the appropriate AirPrint resource records for the subdomain, and then click Ok.
  5. Click Finish.
