Actually, it's just the profile that contains the domain name about which
you are speaking.
Example my domain testdomain44.com contains dns1.testdomain44.com and
dns2.testdomain44.com
These name servers provide DNS for 15,000,000 (ok I'm exaggerating) domain
names.
In order to make changes to the 15,000,000 names of which I speak, I go to
manage.opensrs.net (because testdomain44.com is an opensrs domain) then to
manage nameservers then "If you want to create or modify a nameserver which
is based on testdomain44.com" (all the way at the bottom).
Make changes there, and it gets "reported" to all of the other registries.
Beware, Network Solutions will probably let their database go a few weeks
before you see changes there, but for most of the internet the changes are
2-3 days.
