I want to change the nameservers for a bunch of domains. Really,
all I want to do is change the IP address, but it seems easier
just to change both the name and IP to avoid any possibility of
confusion.

I would just edit the nameserver glue recs and enter the new IPs and add the new IPs to the zone. If the nameservers are .com, .net or .org the roots will pick up the new glue within a few minutes, after about 10 days the TTLs on your root glue will expire and you can remove the old IPs from your firewall rules.


You change your root glue recs for your nameservers via your registrar for the parent domain.
