Problems with NS, glue, and nameserver registration

[Simon Hobson]

I'm now starting to test my split horizon name server, however, my 
agent seems to be having problems changing the DNS at the registry to 
point directly at my servers. He submitted a change request, and 
naturally enough, it came back with the error message that the 
requested name servers aren't registered. This seems to have 
completely flummoxed them and so they have left the registry entries 
pointing at their nameservers, and put my servers in as NS records at 
their servers - which doesn't seem to work as far as I can tell.

The domains in question are colonygiftcorporation.com and 
colonygiftcorporation.co.uk.

This is uncharted waters for me. I had assumed that my agent should 
be able to request the registration of DNS servers on my behalf and 
then have the DNS entries changed to them.

www.nic.uk and www.netsol.com lack information on the subject.

Any pointers would be appreciated - especially to something 
describing the process for registering name servers.

PS - Yes I know that the two servers are on the same subnet (they are 
actually the same machine). Assuming this gets rolled out round the 
group, there will be multiple servers, in different countries, on 
different ISPs - eventually.
