Hi Matt, Authoritative name servers are provided by DNS services managed by the registry operator (and not the registrar).
In the .com.au<http://com.au> domain space, you are reliant on: 1) The root servers, which point to the nameservers for .au 2) auDA’s nameservers, which point to the nameservers for .com.au<http://com.au> 3) Afilias (registry operator)’s nameservers, which point to yourdomain.com.au<http://com.au> When you modify your domain, your registrar updates the database of the registry operator (in .au’s case, Afilias), which is used by the registry operator to generate the .com.au<http://com.au> zone file, which is then pushed out to their nameservers.

Say I have a domain mydomain.com<http://mydomain.com> who's authoritative name servers are ns1.server.net<http://ns1.server.net> and ns2.server.net<http://ns2.server.net> Are these name server entries for my domain stored by my registrar or are they stored somewhere upstream and merely updated by my registrar? Putting it another way am I reliant on my registrar's name serves being available (if these name aren't run by them).
