Eric,
What I would recommend is treating each subdomain to function independent of 
the parent, if you have all the pertinent records it will not fall back to the 
parent domain.

Using internal IPs for examples, assuming bind syntax.

example.com.     IN      SOA     ns1.example.com. dnsadmins.example.com. (
                        2015021800  ; Serial
                        10800
                        3600
                        604800
                        900 )
@       IN      NS      ns1
@       IN      NS      ns2
@       IN      NS      ns3
@       IN      NS      ns4
ns1     IN      A       192.168.0.11
ns2     IN      A       192.168.0.12
ns3     IN      A       192.168.0.13
ns4     IN      A       192.168.0.14

;Servers

www IN CNAME @ ;website

_dmarc IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=none;rua=mailto:[email protected]; fo=0; adkim=r; 
aspf=r;sp=none"

;Permit Dmarc Reports form another domain
task.example.com._report._dmarc                        IN TXT "v=DMARC1"

$ORIGIN task. example.com.

taskapp. _domainkey IN TXT " v=DKIM1; k=rsa; " "p=MZASDDh12S...."
_dmarc IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=none;rua=mailto:[email protected]; fo=0; adkim=r;

Does this help? (or hurt)

Thanks,
Jake

If that's the way your name servers are set up, sure.  There's no general 
answer about what's easier since it depends on how your DNS provisioning is set 
up.

There shouldn't be.  The point of using the _dmarc prefix name is that it 
shouldn't conflict with anything else.

Again, it depends on how your system is set up.  Assuming you control the 
inbound MTAs for your domain, you should be able to route the incoming replies 
to the From: addresses wherever you need to.

R's,
John
