Thanks for the help Gerald. All the records are now happily sat on our new DNS
server and I've changed the SOA on the records to indicate the new primary name
server. Looking at the delegation for one of the zones on the gtld-servers.com
it still shows the old DNS server and I am wondering if anyone knows how I go
about changing this over... to give an example:

===
dig @j.gtld-servers.net artejano.com.

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
artejano.com.  2D IN NS  pridns.artejano.com.
artejano.com.  2S IN NS  dns2lo.highwayone.net.
===

The SOA record on our name server says that the primary name server should be
pri.artejanodbh.co.uk (the new DNS server) but the delegation doesn't seem to
reflect this. Am I simply being impatient (propogation) or am I going to have to
speak to someone else, e.g. our registrar, about this?

Many thanks again
