This is a "glue record", used to avoid a circular dependency:

 "To know wowdns.com i need to know ns3.wowdns.com. To know
  ns3.wowdns.com I need to know wowdns.com."

If ns3.wowdns.com has an A record in the com. zone, you don't need to
be able to resolve ns3.wowdns.com in the wowdns.com zone. Does this
answer your question?
