	You send updates to the parent zone when the data changes.
	e.g.
		The names of the name servers change.
		The addresses of the name servers change.

	If netsol is your registrar the wise you contact the registrar
	for the zone the host lives in.  You can query the registry's
	database to find out the registrar.

	e.g. 
		whois -h www.internic.net ISC.ORG

	You contact the registry / registrar for co.uk.
