You have your answer. Update the parent zone.

So I need the current name server ('ns.example.com') to refer resolvers to my new temporary name server ('ns-temp.example.com'). However, when I tried to test this set-up with a BIND resolver, when the resolver got the delegation to the temporary name server it failed with 'non-improving referral'.

I know that I can simply update delegation at the parent zone to point directly to the new name server, but I prefer not to do this right now and I am looking for ways to do this without changing the parent delegation.
