I want to change the nameservers for a bunch of domains. Really,

These are the same physical servers, just an additional IP address
assigned to the appropriate interface. I want to do this the
"right" way.

Not really too bad. At least we don't have to send in host
record templates anymore.

In fact, some registrars do require that they have the new zone nameserver
names and IP addresses registered, at least with themselves, and if it's a 
new zone, you may not be able to put them inside the zone on first setup;
Domain Discover just did this to me on a change, and I believe I've had the
latter happen to me as well: the automated system wanted to *validate* the
IP to name mapping in... um, DNS.

For a new domain.

Which wasn't up yet.

<sigh>
