This is a very very simple question.  Michael.  Sorry it has been mangled.

 

What you are asking is how to create a child domain and allow another administrator to have control of that child only with no control of the parent.

 

Two ways to create a child:

 

 1) As a sub domain in the company.com zone.  In that case you cannot separate control.

 

2) Delegate it to another DNS server using a standard DNS zone delegation.  This will effectively point the child zone to the other server somewhere on the planet.  Whoever has control of that server has control of the child, but not the parent zone.

 

A delegation only contains the nameserver (NS) records of the server(s) it is pointing to. Since any zone can have primary and secondary servers (or primary and multiple secondary servers) (or techically multiple primary servers using the multiple master model of AD integrated zones) you can/will have multipe NS records in the delegation.
