You put NS records in the parent domain zone file.  E.g. if there's a
domain parent.com and a subdomain sub.parent.com delegated to
subserver1.somewhere.com and subserver2.somewhere.com, the parent.com zone
file would contain:

sub  NS  subserver1.somewhere.com.
sub  NS  subserver2.somewhere.com.

If any of the subdomain's servers have names in the subdomain itself,
you'll also need to put glue A records in the parent zone, e.g.

sub  NS  subserver.sub.parent.com.
subserver.sub  A  1.2.3.4
