I assume that you realise that you're breaking the heirarchical
paradigm here...? By delegating a zone to someone else, you are
giving them authority for the delegated zone. You shouldn't be
serving data for names within that zone except as a slave to
them or recursively (maybe from cached data).

Why don't you add the record for www.cs.abc.com to the cs.abc.com
DNS server? That's the way you should be doing it.
