Proper delegation is to add a 'NS' records where LHS is the sibdomain name
and RHS is the FQDN of the nameserver(s) configured as servers for the zone.

nslookup is a tool that is broken in most hands. The symptoms you tell about 
might be problems with nslookup.

Why don't you publish the name of the zone , the contents ( at least the relevant parts)
of the zonefile(s) and configfiles ? That way we don't have to guess
