	I sounds like you are worrying about the order of the NS records
	being returned not being in the same order as they were entered
	onto the registration form.  This is normal behaviour as all
	nameserver for a zone are supposed to have the same information
	so it does not matter which one is queried.  In fact other name
	servers will query all of them over time and use the one which
	is "closest/fastest" to them.
