RE: seeking pointers on the topic of 'name server registration'

I've seen that before godaddy as an example has a section at the bottom of the domain information for a "Hosts Summary" which allows you to set glue for the record.  It gives a similar error to the "record must be registered".  Mostly they are just complaining if they can't find glue, and as I understand it's just to enforce nameservers to have glue so they fail less :)

Subject: seeking pointers on the topic of 'name server registration'

I apologize for the noise; I hope this is an appropriate forum.

I've been hosting DNS for years for several domains.  Recently, I have had to rename/renumber my primary servers, and need to update various registrars of these changes.

Most registrars seem fine with me just supplying the names of the new nameservers; they chase the A records, and generate the glue records, and off I go.

One of these registrars (NetSol) introduces a topic I've never been aware of before, this concept of 'name server registration'.

Web searching shows me several hits along the lines of 'how to register namesevers with registrar X', but I can't find a treatment
of:

- Is this anything more than generating glue records?

- Why is this explicit step neccessary for some registrars, but not
  others?

I'd appreciate any advice...
