Except they *are* administratively related in the DNS sense. > What if the registry did rip these entries out and the NS records were > later restored, what would happen to the modified zones that now have > only a subset of their NS records? You could restore the chain or just do what you do for cross registry issues and pull the NS records after notifying the contacts of the intent to remove the records and a short delay (days). It's then up to the registrant to make the delegation good once the NS records are removed. For those registries which can't contact the registant directly they use the registrar to forward the notice. > How about when a domain under .com disappears, how would .org know to > change/remove the delegation.
