Subdomain delegation

Hello,
We have a customer running a BIND v 4.9.3 nameserver. They would like
delegate a domain to us. I have followed the examples in DNS & BIND v3 to
delegate subdomains.
I have created the subdomain zone in named.boot. I then created the zone
file for the subdomain with NS and A records for the name servers. I also
created the NS and A records for the subdomain in the zone file for the
parent domain. I have also set SOA in the subdomain zone file to our
nameserver which is being delegated the domain.
I do a dig to check things out, but dig does not return the A records for
our nameservers. The NS records are returned, but not the A records. Our
nameservers are under a completely different namespace than what our
customer is. Does this make a difference?
Consequently, I cannot do nslookups on the subdomain.
Our end is setup. I can correctly resolve the domain from our nameservers,
but I cannot resolve the subdomain on the nameservers delegating the domain
to us.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
-Mark
