Yea ns1/2.mydomain.co.uk points at a DNS Loadbalancer which is configured for subdom.mydomain.co.uk to return an A Record of 5.5.5.5

Oddly, I get different results depending on the online dig tool used.

Using http://networking.ringofsaturn.com/Tools/dig.php the results are -

dig subdom.mydomain.co.uk Line 1 looks to be correct here!
Code:

You don't have an A RR for subdom.mydomain.co.uk, or at least the nameservers of your provider know nothing about it.
Tell your ISP to add the missing A RR in mydomain.co.uk zone file.

Also you use ns1.provider.com as the authoritative dns for your subdomain, You should change it to ns1.mydomain.co.uk

Hello,

Just a quick update as the problem has been resolved. There was a configuration issue at the ns1.provider.com that was stopping the delegation to the subdomain, once this was resolved it all started working.

Many Thanks,
Pete
