If you have delegated sub2.foo.com to 33.33.33.33, then whatever
nameserver is answering on that address will be queried for names in the
zone. Note, however, that delegations are made to nameserver *names*,
not directly to IP addresses.

Is there any particular reason you don't give the real names, so that we
could check whether it is delegated correctly?
