There is no such thing as in-bailiwick glue or out of bailiwick glue.

The term "GLUE RECORDS" is defined in rfc-1033 (yeah, dusted off):

   If the name server host for a particular domain is itself inside the
   domain, then a 'glue' record will be needed.  A glue record is an A
   (address) RR that specifies the address of the server.  Glue records
   are only needed in the server delegating the domain, not in the
   domain itself.

in-bailiwick glue is a pleonasm while out-of-bailiwick glue is an
oxymoron.
