Odd behaviour when migrating a domain

Hello all,

have come across some strange behaviour when trying to move a domain =
from one set of name servers to another. Possibly this is something =
that's supposed to happen but not sure.

Scenario is that I have a domain, transware.ie, hosted on =
ns.weblink.ie/ns.netcast.ie and I'm moving it over to =
auth01.weblink.ie/auth02.weblink.ie.=20

In line with Irish domain registry policies, they won't process the =
change in delegation until the zone is operating correctly from the new =
name servers - they do a check before initiating any changes. With this =
in mind I need to have the zone configured identically on all servers.

When I create the zone on the new servers it seems to inherit the SOA =
and NS data from the current server. Have tried import/export and =
creating it a fresh but still winds up with the same data.

If I dig @auth01.weblink.ie transware.ie I get soa pointing to =
ns.weblink.ie - even though its explicitly set in QDNS manger as being =
auth01.weblink.ie. Incidentally, viewing the zone data in QDNS manager =
reports the zone info correctly, eg. NS records for =
auth01/02.weblinki.ie

Is this expected behaviour or is something a miss?

thanks in advance,

dave.
