You can't really redelegate an *entire* zone in place; DNS doesn't
support it. You could do a per-record redelegation, though that's pretty
ugly; at least in this case you wouldn't be breaking DNS' hierarchy though.

If you want clean, it might be your only option; per-record redelegation
would work though. Of course, you could always delegate it to them as
two /25s in the RFC 2317 notation...
