I know you don't  - I was being facetious/sarcastic - I guess it doesn't come across well in type.

Yes - I know.  Although there SHOULD be a way to request that gtld glue records are refreshed.

I fully comprehend the implications.

My point was the person replying had not read my post, where I clearly stated that the gtld nameservers' TTL was the problem.  I think he was under the impression that my own TTL settings were a part of the problem - they are NOT.  We have those set to 15 minutes, and have had for some time, in anticipation of this exact problem.  Not having moved nameservers before though, I wondered if there was any way to have your glue records refreshed at all - if there isn't - they should be.
