Hi PG,

NSD parses the zone to find zonecuts with the NS records.  This is what
triggers DS record special processing later on.  The NS records from
sub.zone.com are missing from the zone.com zonefile, i.e.
sub.zone.com. IN NS localhost.

Yes your instinct is correct, but it has special processing for the DS
record for sub.zone.com; which has to be in the 'zone.com' zonefile, by
the way.

Best regards, Wouter
