I am a beginner in DNS service and I face difficult when configure DNS sub domain using "bind" version 8. So I would like to ask a question about this and hope someone can answer my question.
Is it possible to configure a sub domain in which the name of this sub domain is same as a server of it's parent domain? e.g. A sub domain "sub.example.com" is configured using a zone file and there is also a "A" record, "sub" in "example.com" zone file. If so, where should I place the "sub.example.com" to IP mapping, in "sub.example.com", "example.com" OR both?

Yes, you can have a sub-domain such as sub.example.com but you don't need to associate an "A" record with it.
You can add sub-domain delegations with the following type of command in the db.example.com zone file
Then, create a db.sub.example.com zone file which contains the names of servers in the sub.example.com sub-domain (the same as you would as if they were part of example.com).
Add your sub-domain to your conf file. Example, if you have in your named.conf
then in your conf.example.com file, you would need to list both the main zone
AND your sub-domains
All you are really doing is splitting it up to make it easier for you - DNS could have it all in one file with no issues.
