I haven't had experience with BIND-4, but from experience 
with BIND-8 and 9, this doesn't look like a problem. If 
the zone name is "foo.bar", then incomplete resource 
records in the zone db file will automatically have the 
zone name (foo.bar, in this case) suffixed to make the 
FQDN.

Of course, ns3.other.com doesn't belong to the foo.bar 
domain, so it'll need to have its name in the FQDN 
fashion.

I have this same setup for several zones I host, and it's 
working. 

Despite this, does this zone work?
