<br>
Not correct. Anyone can run there own Authoritative name servers for a<br>
domain. This may be you OR your registry.<br>
<br>
The Nameserver data configured for your domain is used by the domain<br>
registry to populate the servers delegated to the applicable TLD.<br>
<br>
example:<br>
><br>
<a href="https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/au.html">https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/au.html</a><br>
<br>
You are reliant on these TLD servers, so a query about your domain can<br>
be passed to the correct Authoritative NS.<br>
