In the bcc.its domain, after the line:

indpilly  IN NX  indpilly.indpilly

you need to add the glue record:

indpilly.indpilly IN A <address of indpilly server>

Either that, or you should configure sysmast as either a slave or stub
server for the indpilly.bcc.its subdomain.

For more information, look up "glue records" in the index of the DNS&BIND
book.
