I am not sure what is meant here.  In my DNS setup, at the end of the
zone for msd.anl.gov I have these lines:

     _msdcs          IN      NS      rhino221.anl.gov.
     _sites          IN      NS      rhino221.anl.gov.
     _tcp            IN      NS      rhino221.anl.gov.
     _udp            IN      NS      rhino221.anl.gov.

Those lines are the glue records that officially delegate the four "_"
zones to my one MS W2k+3 DNS Server.  But I also slave these four zones
on my BIND servers, the ones that all of the clients here have in their
DNS search configuration.
