New customers should list your dns servers by name when they register
a domain name. You will have to assign IP addresses from those
allocated to you by your new ISP and modify the A records of your DNS
db files.

What are the old and new numbers. I did some checking and I'm a bit
confused.
[rgolan@beatbox rgolan]$ nslookup dns2.imagineis.com
Server: smoke.coaworld.lan
Address: 192.168.10.254
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: dns2.imagineis.com
Address: 64.31.109.13
The nslookup shows the 64.31.109.13 address but the whois shows
Domain servers in listed order:
DNS1.IMAGINEIS.COM 216.64.24.36
DNS2.IMAGINEIS.COM 216.64.24.39
I queried the dns1.imagineis.com server and it has A records showing
dns1 12H IN A 216.64.24.36
dns2 12H IN A 64.31.109.13
In fact, dns1 says
> dns2.imagineis.com
Server: dns1.imagineis.com
Address: 216.64.24.36
Name: dns2.imagineis.com
Address: 64.31.109.13
but dns2 says
> dns2.imagineis.com
Server: dns2.imagineis.com
Address: 64.31.109.13
Name: dns2.imagineis.com
Address: 216.64.24.39
Notice that each server has a differnent IP address for dns2.
