The zone admin for sure. It is the registration of the domain name
that is specifying the address records of the name servers.
The reason I say "for sure" comes from an experience of Harald
Alvestrand. (I can't find a URL referencing the problem.) Some
years ago one of his slave servers was in a domain whose registration
expired and was taken up by a different registrant. Had he
registered the IP address of the slave he intended to be using, it
would have been easier to debug why every Nth query seemed to get
answered incorrectly.
historically, the HOST has had an independent admin, precisely
because they control the IP's used by the machine, not the zone
admin.
Historically, we didn't worry about domain name registrations changing hands.
