Thanks for the reply.
Actually my setup is just like 1) zone delegation

in the part you quoted from me

which way?

a) zone-delegation, 192.168.196.1 is the nameserver responsible for
whatever below subzone.example.com

subzone  IN A   192.168.196.1
subzone  IN NS  subzone

b) records in the same main zone file

subzone       IN A 192.168.1.1
www.subzone   IN A 192.168.196.10
mail.subzone  IN A 192.168.196.11
