How does DNS replication work?

I would not be overly surprised if Network Solutions is in charge of
one of the root DNS servers; after all, they were the only company
that would register com/net/org domains for a long time.

Network Solutions require you to be able to respond to the
confirmation e-mail (if you are using MAIL-FROM authentication) before
the change gets processed. If you didn't get that mail, you will have
to contact them and authenticate the update through some other means.

The SOA NS field and NS records don't have much at all to do with the
IP address; that's what glue records are for.
