Child Name Servers or Glue Records are Name Servers which are registered with the Registry under your domain name. You have to register Name servers with the Registry, before you can use them as Name Servers for registering other domain names. Child Name Servers can be registered only by the owner of the domain name under which they are registered.
Example:
A Child Name Server ns2.xyz.com can only be registered by the Owner of xyz.com.
