"Sites that were relying on this BIND 8 behaviour need to add any
omitted glue NS records, and any necessary glue A records, to the
parent zone."

Exactly as:

domain.com.zone:
[...]
sec		IN	NS	ns.sec.domain.com.
ns.sec		IN	A	1.2.3.4
[...]

sec.domain.com.zone:
@		IN	SOA
[...]

Nothing more. But I'v miss Your real problem below.
