I believe this is answered in the discuss-list archives, however I will quickly say that the IP is maintained in only one place, at the registry of the domain in question. If the name server is ns.example.com, the IP will be found in the .com registry (i.e. the only authoritive place). The foreign registries smartly maintain only a record of the hostname.
