What you say here makes a lot of sense. Very clear logic. But this is *not* what NSI allows. Once they have 111.111.111.111 and 222.222.222.222 in their database, they refuse to register additional name server host on these IP addresses. I thought there must be some good reason why we cannot have more than one name server hosts pointing at the same IP.
Way back when, there probably was. But with name-based hosting, more powerful servers, multiple services per machine, et al., I can't think of any possible good reason that is valid today. Furthermore, I find it a telling point that several/many registrars (including OpenSRS and BulkRegister, both of whom have been quite professional for us) have no problem with it.
As I said, I can try to figure out how it should be done but I refuse to try to figure how NSI will want to do it. I've had waaaaaaaaay too many other problems with them (e.g. it took me *NINE MONTHS* to get paiz.org contact addresses changed to my control, and the other guy and I *still* [another six months later] have not managed to convince NSI that he really does want to legally transfer the domain to me. Just one story. Ugh.)
