Would the problem not exist if, in addition to delegating

     ad.wrha.mb.ca

to a different nameserver, the new AD zones had been defined as slave
zones on the existing BIND servers?  That way, the existing servers
would still be autoritative for both

     wrha.mb.ca

and its subdomain

     ad.wrha.mb.ca.
