Sorry, I missed that question earlier. Merely to attempt to conform to
the examples I found, mainly this one,

http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ch9/delegate.html

I tried this variant in neptune's zone file,

; Attempt delegation of 'jupiter' subdomain.
jupiter.nicklan. IN NS nicklite.nicklan.

with no more success than before. In all cases I can query the
nameserver on nicklite from neptune, e.g.

# host jupiter.nicklan. 172.23.63.100
Using domain server:
Name: 172.23.63.100
Address: 172.23.63.100#53
Aliases:

jupiter.nicklan has address 172.23.63.100

but not via neptune's own nameserver.
