	Well you could create zones on your caching servers that
	correspond to the names of the the nameservers and populate
	them with the glue from the parent zone.

	ns1.avecommerce.net. 0 IN SOA <your-nameserver> <your-email> (
			              1 3600 1200 3600000 3600 )
			     0 IN NS <your-nameserver>
			     0 IN A 216.98.138.60
			
	This does mean that you need to create some method of tracking
	changes to the glue. etc.
