(may be a bit OT)
I initiated a transfer of my domain from one registrar to another;
will the primary and secondary name servers transfer along with it?
e.g. My current registrar knows that my site's Name server is
NS1.mywebhost.com. - will the transfer process also transfer that
info, or will i need to manually change it with the new registrar as
soon as the transfer completes?

Depends on the REGISTRAR AND the settings you chose at transfer
with some of them.

E.g., Godaddy has an option on the Transfer form that lets *YOU*
decide what happens. Leave DNS (with parent domain) alone OR
transfer it to the GoDaddy "parking DNS" servers where it likely
belongs.

Actually it will DO NOTHING to keep that info the SAME since this
is stored at the PARENT zone (e.g., .com) and not really on the registrar's
own site.

If you need it to transfer to the new Registrar's DNS servers THEN they
must change the parent zone settings.

Depends on the registrar and options you chose (at some registrars.)

Simply put, when you initiated the zone transfer, what did you elect on the
name server section?
Usually, if you elect the default setting, it transfers DNS to the
Registrar's DNS, regardless of who previously hosted DNS. The reason for
this is because most people elect to have the registrar host DNS, which is
fine as long as the registrar of record has the DNS zone, because they
usually do this for the price of the domain registration and it cost no
extra.

Consider using your name server as a "stealth" primary.

Have your registrar use their free nameservers as "primary" for the domain.
I placed the word "primary" in quotes because they are really just slave
servers. This is hidden to the world, thus the term "stealth" server.

If your ISP or registrar allows it, you have the option of setting up the
registered primary and secondary nameserver for the domain as slave servers
to your DNS server. The advantage is that bandwidth and processor time is
spent on the high bandwidth connection of your ISP/registrar, but control of
the domain remains with your DNS server. All that is required is an update
to the serial number in the domain each time a change occurs to the domain,
and updates will be sent to the slave servers (the ISP/registrar servers).
Be sure to allow zone transfers to these servers.

Sorry, I know this is off topic. When I try to post a new question it does
nothing but will let me reply to subjects. I was wanting to ask the
community a quesion. I have an interview with a web hosting company tomorrow
and I want to be prepared as possible. Could anyone tell me where and how I
would post such a questions?

Thank yo for your
