You understand how DNS works, right?  You understand how to delegate
a subzone of your zone to another nameserver, right?

In example.com zonefile:

   blns      A 127.0.0.2
   spews.bl  NS blns
   other.bl  NS blns

Or just

   blns    A 127.0.0.2
   bl      NS blns

For caching BIND nameserver, one may use forward zone
declaration in named.conf:

zone "bl.example.com" { type forward; forwarders { 127.0.0.2; }; };
