I think you're wrong. Last time we had to change .es delegation one and a half years ago, we had to sent a normal template to hostmaster@internic.net But InterNIC also make changes to hosts where domains are delegated which seem to be the cause of this problem. Someone made a wrong "host template" request for one of the secondaries of .es (ns.eunet.es) changing its name and IP address, which had the effect of changing the delegation of the .es zone. For what I understand, InterNIC is admiting hosts templates for domains which are not under .com .org .net, etc. (the TLDs under his management) and placing glue records for them in the DNS. Am I right? If this is such, I don't think this is correct. If someone wants a domain under .com to be delegated in a server under .es they shouldn't place glue records for this nameserver (the same way we don't place glue records for nameservers of .es domains delegated into .com NSs). The only glue records they should have for NSs under .es are the ones in which the TLD .es is being delegated and those should be admited only if included in the TLD delegation (or change of delegation) request.
