I agree completely. I used to have quite a few IP addies with 
CobaltRacks. When I moved and updated all of my DNS records, 
Netf*cked Solutions didn't update their database. I can't tell that 
they update it at all, with the exception of brand new domains.
Shortly thereafter another list member who had gotten a RaQ there and 
had gotten my old IPs contacted me, because NS still had the IPs 
pointing to me. There wasn't anything that I or CobaltRacks could do, 
that member had to contact NS directly and tell them to get their 
stuff straight.

I abhor NS with every fiber of my being. They charge 3 times as much 
as everyone else, their support sucks eggs, their email MAIL-FROM 
never works properly, and the new web interface sucks as well.
Add to it the fact that you can update your records and never see the 
change in their database and... well... how many times can I say that 
they suck without being repetitive? It's a horribly mismanaged 
company taking every fool they can get to the cleaners and back.

>From now on, use a different registrar - transfer all of your domains 
off of NS ASAP. Dotster, last time I checked, was running an $11.95 
transfer special and they have a fantastic, fast interface (as well 
as an API you can merge into your site).

Side note: This is another one where the sig line is just too 
appropriate! Think of NS as the big brother gov't... *grin*
