Yes, I have heard of Verisigns dirty tactics. What don't understand is how the root servers can return the DNS, when I change ours constantly, and I don't allow domain transfers to root servers... I allow transfers to specific dns server, so do root servers get a transfer by default? I assumed that if a domain name exists, the dns request is passed onto the authorative dns server... is this incorrect?"
Yes, that is incorrect. The root DNS servers hold the DNS glue records for each registered domain. DNS glue records are the NS records created from the DNS server information you specified when you registered the domain. So, you may be changing A, PTR, and CNAME records all you want, but the DNS glue records for your domain don't change unless you make a change with your domain registrar.
