No. Assuming the nameservers are part of a gTLD (that is, it's in .com,
.net or .org), you do not have to (and cannot) register them as hosts at
NSI.
We frequently have our clients change the nameservers of domains
registered at NSI to be the nameservers from our OpenSRS-registered
domain, and we've never had any trouble.
What error message does your client get if he simply submits the
appropriate NSI forms? (Or has he not done so -- perhaps he's only asked
NSI on the phone, in which case he's quite likely to be told something
false like this?)
