If it were me I would take the server sitting on the ISDN out of the NS pool 
and use it strictly as a master after the other 3 are setup.  I would hope 
that the new servers are not set up with the same restrictions.  Then you 
don't have to worry about the slow connection being over whelmed.  You could 
make your updates to the master, on the ISDN line, which should be fast 
enough to update the other 3 NS servers.
