let's say that you have ns.xxx.com as the DNS Server for domain xxx.com
& ns.unix.xxx.com as the DNS Server for domain unix.xxx.com.
(correct me if iam wrong)

at the xxx.com database :

@  	   IN	SOA ...
	   IN	NS	ns.xxx.com.
localhost  IN   A	127.0.0.1
ns	   IN	A	111.111.1.111
unix	   IN	NS	ns.unix.xxx.com.
$ORIGIN unix.xxx.com.
ns	   IN	A	111.111.2.111

at the unix.xxx.com database,

@  	   IN	SOA ...
   	   IN	NS	ns.unix.xxx.com.
   	   IN	MX	10 mail.unix.xxx.com.
localhost  IN 	A       127.0.0.1
ns	   IN   A       111.111.2.111
mail	   IN	A       111.111.2.112
www        IN 	CNAME   mail.unix.xxx.com.

and don't forget to delegate the reverse address of
2.111.111.in-addr.arpa to ns.unix.xxx.com too.
