I may have a working example which will help.

nz.freebsd.org is delgated to me.  I look after DNS for everything 
under that subdomain.  I've been doing this for the about 4 or 5 
years I think.  The only time I have to contact dsnadm@ is if I need 
to change the IP address on my DNS server.    Apart from that, I do 
everything else.  Granted, we have only one of www, cvsup, and 
[sometimes] ftp, but it is an example.
