They should be in the domain.com DNS setup
I don't use the GUI. so not sure if there is a problem doing that.

No, you just need to tell the Slave (secondary depreciated) to serve as a Slave
for domain.com
They are probably not working if you set them up as seperate zones, on the
Master.

Well, what is the problem? The subs don't resolve? they don't xfer?
You need two 'a' records for the subs in the main domain zone file.
sub1    IN    A  ip
www.sub1  IN  A  ip
Look at the pri.domain.com file in /etc/named.
see if it contains the correct info.
