	If the parent delegates to you, you cannot delegate the *same* zone
	to someone else.

	You can always delegate subzones (nyc.booksellers.com is a subzone
	of booksellers.com) to a different (or same) set of nameservers
	as those for the parent zone.  The usual reason for doing this is
	to move administative responsability.  The other reason is to be
	consistant you have to delegate some sub zones for administative
	reasons and you do the others to be consistant even though you
	are still adminstering them.
