Stephen,

You can not do a referral “horizontally”.  You can refer down, or even up in 
some cases, but not sideways at the same level of the hierarchy.

Lots of metaphors come to mind at this point, the most obvious being a tree (I 
briefly thought about something like, “you can’t marry your first cousin, but 
you can marry your first cousin once removed, if she belongs to the net or org 
side of the family, but decided that was too awful, plus outdated because the 
family is a lot bigger now).

Suffice it to say that if you re-delegate subzone.contstoso.com from 
ns1.intermediatens.com to ns1.redelegatedns.com, it will break.
