Woops... we have dozens and dozens of com|net|org|biz domains
that use ns1|ns2.foobar.com.au as their official nameservers.

How do *I* go about creating a "glue" record if I need one ?

Perhaps I don't need them because things seem to have been
working just fine for years.

Thank you, a good suggestion and the 4 new chosen IPs all come
up as "No match for nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx". A lookup of the actual
nameservers comes back as...

 Server Name: NS1.foobar.COM.AU
 Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, INC. <<<<<
