It is not a question of how bind behaves. It is a question of how does
dns work. Bottom line is, setup nameservers with $NEWPROVIDER and change
the nameserver records with your registrar and move on. All will be well
when the ttl's time out.

Until the ttl's timeout, resolvers with the old nameservers cached will still
query them. Once the ttl's time out the new servers will be queried.

Hope this helps,
