i think if you're using round robin or random selection, a subset is fine. if 
we had to codify this practice, i'd ask that at least two address records of 
each available kind be included (so, two AAAA's, two A's) or else set TC=1.

RRsets shall not be divided. either send all the NS records, or none (TC=1).
