Sharing authority without creating a subdomain

Hi,
I am seeking to delegate authority for a few specific hosts, without
placing those hosts under a subdomain. For instance:
Zone1:
domain.com, with records for...
www.domain.com
mail.domain.com
Zone 2:
ftp.domain.com
testing.domain.com
It would seem that I could create separate zones for each of the hosts
listed under Zone 2, and then make each of these zones into children in
Zone1, delegating and providing glue, as such:
ftp 86400 IN NS zone2_ns1.domain.com.
86400 IN NS zone2_ns2.domain.com.
testing 86400 IN NS zone2_ns1.domain.com.
86400 IN NS zone2_ns2.domain.com.
zone2_ns1.domain.com. 86400 IN A 192.253.254.2
zone2_ns2.domain.com. 86400 IN A 192.253.254.3
However, it seems to be a large amount of work, and just generally bad
form to create a zone for individual hosts. Is there a better way to do
this?
Thanks!
