thanks for your (as usual) helpful and informative response.

I was talking about a host, not a zone.

i.e. a DNS server registered with Netsol.

The zone that the host belongs to is held by us, so obviously we will update the RR for it as well as asking Netsol to update their host entry.

After thinking about it some more, I would expect that as far as Nominet go, us updating the RR for the server should be enough, but I'm not sure whether the FQDN *and* IP of NS records is hard coded at Nominet, plus there is the whois db to consider.
