Others have told you how to add the delegation records in the alan.com
zone.  Have you also considered adding the ads.alan.com zone as a 
slave zone on your BIND servers?  If your clients are already set up
to query your BIND servers, then those clients will not have to change
their TCP/IP configuration to add one of the ads name servers
