You should really upgrade to 9.x

This needs to be done by following RFC2317.

well, thats half way there.

example:
zone in this case is x.y.z.0/24 and the delegation will be about
x.y.z.184/29.
184-193         IN      NS      ns.somedns.somewhere
184-193         IN      NS      ns.yourdns
$GENERATE 184-193 $ CNAME $.184-193
