If you make your server authoritative just for the subzones qa.test.com 
and dev.test.com, it will recurse out to the Internet for everything 
else in test.com.

Another solution is to make your server authoritative for test.com, and 
put NS records in the zone for all the outside names, e.g.

www IN NS <outsideNS1>
    IN NS <outsideNS2>

If any new names are added to the outside nameserver you'll need to add 
them here in parallel, but you don't need to update your nameserver when 
changes to existing entries are made (e.g. if www's address changes).
