Issue reg changing the existing name server to a new name server

[Kevin Darcy]

This is clearly a matter between you and your ISP.

The only thing I'll point out, is that if the name of a nameserver is 
*in* the domain which is delegated to it, e.g. example.in delegated to 
ns1.example.in, then the registry needs to know *both* the name *and* 
the IP address, so that it can give out the appropriate glue records. 
Therefore, if your ISP is only asking for one of those things, either a) 
they are implicitly *forbidding* that the name of the nameserver be in 
the domain being delegated, or b) they are relying on other methods 
(which might include out-of-band methods such as email or phone calls) 
to translate the name to an IP address or _vice_versa_.

                                                                         
                           - Kevin
