[clug] of glue & DNS registrars

[Matthew Firth]

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]
