I want to change the nameservers for a bunch of domains. Really, all I want to do is change the IP address, but it seems easier just to change both the name and IP to avoid any possibility of confusion. However, I am not "physically" moving the services. These are the same physical servers, just an additional IP address assigned to the appropriate interface. I want to do this the "right" way.
Not really too bad. At least we don't have to send in host record templates anymore.
In fact, some registrars do require that they have the new zone nameserver names and IP addresses registered, at least with themselves, and if it's a new zone, you may not be able to put them inside the zone on first setup; Domain Discover just did this to me on a change, and I believe I've had the latter happen to me as well: the automated system wanted to *validate* the IP to name mapping in... um, DNS.
For a new domain.
Which wasn't up yet.

well, wearing my oldschool hat, the service should be working on the authoritative servers -prior- to asking the parent to jump in - do some work - and send me a bill. validation can work just fine w/ address literals. --bill
