	what you are looking for no longer exists.
	there is no "glue" record per se. As Florian pointed out,
	a couple of implementations do what you expect, but BIND 4.x
	varients, esp at the TLD level, are scarce.

	As has been explained to you several times, modern thinking
	has settled on one (not particularly obvious) way to deal w/
	the circular dependence problem.  It really is better to only
	have to think about this problem space in one way.
