We have a few .nu domains which still show the old nameserver IP. I was also wondering about the new registries like .info, .biz, etc. where one can "create a non-.tld nameserver at .tld registry". I don't know of an "update non-.tld nameserver" option. Do these all query a central source that's authoritative for nameserver info, or do OSRS updates to nameservers carry through to these registries automagically? Thanks for easing a good part of my worries. -- Best regards, Brian Curtis
