file "xyz.hosts":

subdomain.xyz.hosts.		NS	name.server.for.that.domain.
	[note the trailing dots]

IF the name server for "subdomain.xyz.hosts" is in that domain, you
will have to provide an "A" record as glue.  It will promptly be
forgotten once the querying name server accepts the subdomain name
server as authoritative.

file "xyz.hosts":

subdomain.xyz.hosts.		NS	centauri.subdomain.xyz.hosts.
centauri.subdomain.xyz.hosts.	A	192.168.1000.2000
	[note the obviously impossible IP address, it's just an
	example!]


If your style is to make all internal references to the zone relative,
this would look like:

subdomain			NS	centauri.subdomain
centauri.subdomain		A	192.168.1000.2000
