The registrar will create the glue records for you.

Scenario: You have (or provide DNS service for) lots and lots of
domains.


You only do this for your first domain, all the others point to the ns of the
1st one

If we were to change the nameservers from nsX.DOMAIN.co.nz and nsX.DOMAIN.com the customer would have to change the DNS for every one of their hundreds of domains. Granted they'll have to do a fair amount of of this anyway to use the new name server, but they won't have to change them all, just the ones they want to move.
