There's this bit in RFC 1034 which discusses zone cuts and says the NS
RRset above and below the cut should be exactly the same. DNS admins are
generally too relaxed about allowing them to become inconsistent.
: The RRs that describe cuts around the bottom of the zone are NS RRs that
: name the servers for the subzones. Since the cuts are between nodes,
: these RRs are NOT part of the authoritative data of the zone, and should
: be exactly the same as the corresponding RRs in the top node of the
: subzone. Since name servers are always associated with zone boundaries,
: NS RRs are only found at nodes which are the top node of some zone. In
: the data that makes up a zone, NS RRs are found at the top node of the
: zone (and are authoritative) and at cuts around the bottom of the zone
: (where they are not authoritative), but never in between.
See also RFC 1912 section 2.8:
Make sure your parent domain has the same NS records for your zone as
you do.
