Question is: Is it Tucows and their API that requires it or is it a
registry requirement?
We just do lame delegations. Nobody cares. If your system is automated
(ours isn't) and you use BIND then it's nearly as easy to create an entry
in the config file for a primary zone that points to a generic 'empty'
zone file. The file needs only SOA and NS records. BIND has no
restriction on how many zone entries can point at a single zone file, so
the only work to be done is add a primary zone entry to the config on one
server and a secondary entry to the config on another and the instruct
each to load the zone. You don't even need to update the serial within
the generic zone file.
