Nameserver IP address change

[Stolen]

As long as you're comfortable running without a secondary server for the 
amount of time it takes to update and move the server to the new ip 
address, you shouldn't have to go about registering a new server.  As 
long as all the domains use the same name (ns2.domain.com) as their name 
server, all you have to do is change the ip of ns2.domain.com. at the 
registrar, and change the ip in the zone of domain.com.
