In Cloudmin a DNS entry (x.cloudmin.example.com) is made for created instances to a subdomain called cloudmin.example.com.
However these are not getting picked up by the DNS system. How does one get the primary DNS system (in our case EuroDNS) to delegate the authority for the subzone *.cloudmin.example.com to the DNS server running on the Cloudmin master (cloudmin.example.com or other like q.example.com?

You need to add a NS (Nameserver) record in example.com for cloudmin.example.com , pointing to your Cloudmin master system.

I already have an NS entry for cloudmin.anolim.net - here is the output from dig. Any idea what's not OK?

The following doesn't look right to me, but I can't figure out where it's coming from. Any ideas?

That looks OK. What is the name of one of your VMs , so I can try a test DNS lookup?

Update: actually I can ping the virtual servers on example.cloudmin.anolim.net. I wasn't able to ping cloudmin.anolim.net and assumed that therefore the DNS couldn't work.

Yes, that's expected - if there is no address record for cloudmin.anolim.net, you won't be able to ping it.
