Is this nameserver serving a domain that contains its own name, e.g.
ns.foo.fr serving the foo.fr domain? If so, then you need to update the
delegations that are contained in the parent domain (.fr). For gTLDs we
would do this by going through whatever registrar we originally registered
the domain through; I'm not sure what the equivalent procedure is for .fr
domains...
