I want to change the nameservers for a particular domain.
I control the DNS server that is currently set as the nameserver for the domain in question. This server is also listed in the SOA.
I want to move the DNS to Amazon Route53, I have created duplicate records for the zone there.
My question is, what will happen if I change the nameserver entries (to point to Route53) on the current DNS server?
Will the whole internet be updated with the new nameserver values and everybody rejoice in happiness? Or... will nothing happen - i.e. does the nameserver change need to occur at a higher level; i.e. done by the current registrar?
Or will something even worse happen?
p.s. I am a developer that is playing with forces that are beyond his comprehension, please go easy on me
