"dig +noall +norec +authority zone @parent" should return you the referral. e.g. dig +noall +authority +norec ilap.ca @sns-pb.isc.org Also it is bad form to turn off the service before the re-delegation has taken place and the old NS/A/AAAA/DS/DNSKEY records have expired from caches. The old servers should be slaves of the new servers. This allows for a smooth transition to occur.
