That subdomain does _not_ appear to be delegated down from the main
nameservers that service tldp.org as a whole:

If I read that correctly, that means any and all contents of that
subdomain are defined directly inside the tldp.org zonefile at master
nameserver ns.nuc.edu, and thereby reflected to slave nameserver
ns2.unc.edu.

Er, what's "gabber" in this context? I'm not sure I follow you.
FYI, tinydns is a nameserver daemon that performs authoritative
nameservice only. Please see, for more information:
