Name server question

I recently change the IP of one of my name servers
ganymede.lucidlogic.com

When I do lookups on it it still returns the old IP address (203.45.60.48) 
so obviously it is out of action at the moment.

the correct IP is 203.45.58.19

dig -t any lucidlogic.com returns
GANYMEDE.lucidlogic.com.  1d14h5m14s IN A  203.45.60.48
EUROPA.lucidlogic.com.  1d14h5m14s IN A  144.132.2.3
NS.NUSYSTEMS.COM.AU.    23h34m54s IN A  210.11.138.194

But all (except of course the old IP of ganymede which has nothing) those
nameservers return 203.45.58.19 for ganymede.lucidlogic.com

Because it is a registered nameserver are its details kept on a root
server or something? How do I change it? I am thinking of creating a new
nameserver name for that new IP and redelegating but it would be easier to
just change the IP address for ganymede wherever it is kept.

Thanks for any help
Jon
