They get it from the xTLD registrars based on the data taken from the 
domain registration.  TLD resource records for anydomain look like:

;delegation data
einekleinedomain.de.  NS  ns1.harald.de.
einekleinedomain.de.  NS  ns2.harald.de.
;
;glue records aka "additional section" in DNS UDP packet
ns1.harald.de. A ip.ad.re.ss
ns2.harald.de. A ip.ad.re.ss

fix em mit der registrar

ok, but thatīs an admin database, not a DNS, as you know.

>But when I query A.GTLD-Servers.net I get old IPs which aren't correct.

Then jump on your registrar with the discprepancy.  Maybe he hasnīt 
uploaded them at all, or is just slow.

>So where is the updating process broken?? I have a local registrar

Thatīs where der fehler ist, and where you have to fix it.

>for my domains and he updated the whois database correctly.

He then has a formal, authorized process for updating the parent zone, via 
the parentīs registry or NIC or whatever.

>Also the nameserver which connected me once give the correct NS IPs. But a

The only valid delegation data is whatīs in and start with, top down, from 
the xTLDīs.  Everything else is wishful thinking

well, there isnīt.  They use computers.  :)))

>I think this is done by a robot. But why isn't it working then?

only your registrar can help you.

yep, way too long. somethingīs upgef@cked.
