If it's authoritative for a.com, just put the NS records for the subdomains
into that zone file.

If not, I don't think there's a way.  You can configure it as a slave
server for the domains, so that it won't need to consult the other NS's at
all when responding to queries in those domains.

Someone else suggested stub zones, but I think that only works on a server
that's authoritative for the parent domain.  It's just a way of getting the
delegation NS records into the parent zone automatically.
