Hello,
I'm looking into providing secondary name service for my organization using a cloud DNS provider (D-Zone). We would transfer our zones to them using a standard zone transfer and they would publish them to their AnyCast DNS servers. I was going to simply add their DNS servers to my Domain Registrars list of authoritative name servers. Is it enough to do that or do I also need to add these (2) name server addresses to each of my zone files as well (I have about 50 zones).

IN NS ns1.mydomain.com.
IN NS ns2.mydomain.com.
IN NS ns1.d-zone.ca <== Addition
IN NS ns2.d-zone.ca <== Addition
What happens if I do one without the other? I guess I don't fully understand the relationship between the name servers listed in the zone versus the ones found in my domain record. I'm running BIND locally, if that matters.
