If I'm reading this correctly, the real issue here is with the way one
particular registrar manages hosts.  They shouldn't attempt to create a new
host object if the host you need to delegate to is already in the registry.
If they would just accept the name change as you described above (they
really don't need to collect address info as we're all well aware), all of
the domains currently delegated to ns1.iae.nl would be delegated to
ns1.vianetworks.nl and everything would work.
