Moving name servers

Good morning all, I am still working to move our DNS services over to djbdns and removing our old Bind servers. So far I have moved, or gotten clients to move, several hundred domains leaving only a few stragglers pointing their records to the old servers. (We changed the domain name of our DNS servers as well, a company identity thing.) My question, as I work on these last few clients, is this. It seems to me I can simply change the IP of the name servers in the old domain to the IP of the new servers and immediately see the traffic leave the old name servers. Currently the old servers are ns[12].totallogic.com and the new servers are ns[123]auth.tls.net. Checking with Register, NetSol, Tucows, and OpenSRS, they all use the FQDN of the authoritative server, no IP is entered into the management section. Seems to me if I change the A record, ns1.totallogic.com A 65.124.104.25 to the IP of ns1auth.tls.net, ns1.totallogic.com A 65.124.104.30 I should be in business. Looking through my documentation it seems like it should work fine. Is my thinking completely messed up?
