that's something that I didn't expect: name servers defined by a particular
registrar are "stuck" with that registrar for ever?
I would have expected that the registrar who holds the domain should be able
to control glue for everything therein?
That actually makes a change of registrar much harder. If I want to get the
hell away from Melbourne IT forever, I now need to define three new name
servers with NetRegistry and redelegate every domain [a number of which I'm
not the registrant of, ergo annoying]
