I don't think it is a good example. After all, the sentence is only
true if there is a zone cut between com and example but not between
example and a. (Which is the case today for example.com but not
guaranteed for the future.)

If you want a better example:

For example if example.com is delegated to the name server
ns.example.com, then ns.example.com is in-bailiwick.

[Personal note: this definition of in-bailiwick does not seem to me
very common. The original one, and the most common by far, is the one
