DNS records not updating consistently...

[Mark.Andrews at nominum.com]

	You need to submit a host change notification to Network Solutions.
	If BLADE.YOSHIMUNE.COM is still a official nameserver for some zone
	you need to request a modification.  If it is not supposed officially
	to be a nameserver for any zones I would request a deletion.

	By official I mean that it is listed in NS records with the name
	BLADE.YOSHIMUNE.COM not NS.YOSHIMUNE.COM.
