stub zones and NS records

[Auteria Wally Winzer Jr.]

Let me make myself clearer (if possible):

Our primary domain is ChampUSA.COM.
We own a mutitude of domains:
Champion-Nutrition.COM
Tanzengeist.COM
WahLeeWHIRL.COM
etc.

The NS and MX records are the same for all domains.

We're running stubs within the internal ns's.  Because there's
no "subdomain" will stubs work since it's only loading the
NS records for each zone?

With the exception of ChampUSA.COM our db.champusa
loads as expected since the NS records are within the zone:
The PTR zones and the remaining SOA zone files don't behave
in the same manner.  I see this output with the db.champion-nutrition
zone file:

; BIND version named 8.2.4-REL Wed Jul  4 22:55:35 PDT 2001
; BIND version
wwinzer at Sun-E3000:/export/home0/wwinzer/mybuild/BUILD/src/bin/named
; zone 'champion-nutrition.com'   first transfer
; from 207.21.123.4:53 (local 207.21.123.4) using AXFR at Wed Jul  4 23:17:54
2001
$ORIGIN com.
champion-nutrition      86400   IN      SOA     Sun-E3000.ChampUSA.com.
wally.winzer.ChampUSA.com. (
                2001070400 10800 3600 604800 86400 )
        86400   IN      NS      Sun-E3000.ChampUSA.com.
        86400   IN      NS      sparcserver.ChampUSA.com.
; Ignoring info about Sun-E3000.ChampUSA.com, not in zone champion-nutrition.com.

; $ORIGIN ChampUSA.com.
; Sun-E3000     86400   IN      A       207.21.123.4
; Ignoring info about sparcserver.ChampUSA.com, not in zone
champion-nutrition.com.
; sparcserver   86400   IN      A       207.21.123.14

Yet our db.champusa zone file loads fine:

; BIND version named 8.2.4-REL Wed Jul  4 22:55:35 PDT 2001
; BIND version
wwinzer at Sun-E3000:/export/home0/wwinzer/mybuild/BUILD/src/bin/named
; zone 'champusa.com'   first transfer
; from 207.21.123.4:53 (local 207.21.123.4) using AXFR at Wed Jul  4 23:17:54
2001
$ORIGIN com.
champusa        86400   IN      SOA     Sun-E3000.champusa.com.
wally.winzer.champusa.com. (
                2001070400 10800 3600 604800 86400 )
        86400   IN      NS      Sun-E3000.champusa.com.
        86400   IN      NS      sparcserver.champusa.com.
        86400   IN      NS      ns1.verio.NET.
        86400   IN      NS      b.ns.verio.NET.
        86400   IN      NS      t.ns.verio.NET.
$ORIGIN champusa.com.
Sun-E3000       86400   IN      A       207.21.123.4
sparcserver     86400   IN      A       207.21.123.14

In my case, are stubs applicable, or do we need to change
the nameserver function entirely?

What we're thinking is to not have no zones at all, just the
hints zone.

Your input is greatly appreciated.
