This is what I figured and hoped would happen, but I just wanted to
make positively sure.

What about other registries? We have a few .nu domains which still
show the old nameserver IP. I was also wondering about the new
registries like .info, .biz, etc. where one can "create a non-.tld
nameserver at .tld registry". I don't know of an "update non-.tld
nameserver" option. Do these all query a central source that's
authoritative for nameserver info, or do OSRS updates to nameservers
carry through to these registries automagically?
Thanks for easing a good part of my worries.
