DNS reverse sub delegation NXDOMAIN problem, Class C

Sorry, this is going to be a pedantic post, so I might as well start

No, there's no such thing as "Class C", so please forget that.  It's 
a /24 network.  CIDR is in; class is dismissed.

Right.  I wonder where the OP got that idea?

Test.com is a real Internet domain.  Please don't use that if you 
aren't the actual owner.

Yes, to repeat, and enhanced for RFC 2606 compliance:

220		NS	ns2.sub.example.com.

Well no, not necessarily.  This is authoritative service we are 
discussing here.

That said, sure, typically you're going to host such internal-only 
zones on a server that also does recursion.  That's not required, 
however.  The recursive server could have stub or static-stub zones, 
or even an alternate root zone, which points to the authoritative 
server.

Pedantry complete.
