Hard to troubleshoot without specifics.  Did you update the gTLD
glue RRs?


SCm> 1) nslookup gives:
SCm> *** Can't find server name for address aa.bb.cc.54: Non-existent host/domain
SCm> *** Can't find server name for address aa.bb.cc.55: Non-existent host/domain
SCm> *** Default servers are not available

nslookup is evil.  Use dig instead.

	dig +norec @server.to.test domain.to.test. rrtype


SCm> 3) webalizer is not resolving any domains - I'm fairly sure

Incorrect.  What counts for webalizer is to have a working
resolver/caching NS.


SCm> I know that the new IP supplier is not able to delegate the

Yes.  Receive the delegation, create entries, and be happy.
