	The question doesn't make sense.  DNS data doesn't propogate
	out.  It propogates between the nameservers for the zone or in
	the case of delegation information the parent zone, its servers.
	After that it is fetched on demand (if not already known) and
	cached for the specified period.
	
	What zone?
	What do you think the nameservers should be (names and addresses)?
	What were the old servers (names and addresses)?
