That's true. But think of the "poor man's" solution described
in 'DNS and BIND' by Albitz/Liu:

two zones on one named: the delegated one, which can be asked by
everybody but won't do recursion, and the recursive and caching
one for only the internal hosts.

Better than nothing but I agree, your solution is my favourite
too. 

But to come to the initial question: a good place to host a
secondary for a delegated zone is in most cases your upstream ISP.
Take a look at 'the' DNS book, IMHO it's by far the best reading 
about DNS beside the rare postings of DJB :-)
