Subdomain Delegation
Subdomain Delegation Example
Subdomain delegation (also referred to as zone delegation) refers to configuring DNS so that only part of your existing
domain is transferred over to ExactTarget. Only that zone, or subdomain, will be used for ExactTarget.
In a subdomain delegation scenario, you are pointing (delegating) a specific host name or zone name (subdomain) over
to ExactTargets DNS servers.
yourdomain.com
www.yourdomain.com
server.yourdomain.com
email.yourdomain.com
In this example, you would be configuring email.yourdomain.com for use on ExactTarget. Your Domain Name, website,
and other servers are left untouched, and you can continue to use these names for other purposes.

This is a power user option, and should not be attempted without a solid understanding of how DNS works.
Not all DNS servers or DNS service/domain registrar control panels support subdomain delegation.
