Note that each domain that is delegated SHOULD have proper SOA and NS
records, otherwise strange things (like the one you have envcountered) may
happen. If you delegate by adding NS records for each PTR, you create
different domains for them. The same applies to forward domains (I've seen
examples of single record delegations and related problems)

It's much easier and safer to do CNAME delegations.
