Hi BIND,

Hoping someone in the community will have experience with this.

We are looking to migrate off a set of nameservers to another set of 
nameservers. For all practical considerations, both sets of servers are slave 
to the same hidden master, which yields interesting considerations that are not 
part of the “normal” practices in terms of the migration. (Being that “normal” 
migrations are from one provider to another and require cutting a new set of 
keys).

I see the steps as:

1. Add new nameservers to zone NS records. (do not remove old nameservers yet)
2. Wait at least zone NS TTL. (new servers may not be trusted during this time)
3. Update registry to add new nameservers & remove old nameservers.
4. Wait at least registry NS TTL. (old nameservers may not be trusted as cache 
expires, but new servers will)
6. Remove NS records for old nameservers from zone.

The reason for not making the change in one quick pass would presumably be the 
risk of complete mismatch between the registry NS records and the zone NS 
records in the event the registry data is cached but the zone data is not.

Does anyone have any experience that would suggest differently?

Thanks in advance,
