bulk dns

Just set up my in motion reseller account and have had the sites migrated into the account (40+ domains)
All of these domains currently hosted elsewhere have custom name servers
ns.mydomain.com

ns2.mydomain.com

is there a way that I can  point all of these domains to the new server, while keeping the same custom name servers and WITHOUT having to change the dns or A records on every domain?

I have tested all of the accounts that were migrated, and am ready to "flip the switch" so I can get away from my current hosting company.

Hello! Unfortunately, if you want to keep using the same custom nameservers, there's not really an easy way to switch over everything at once unless you make the necessary changes on that nameserver itself. 

The only alternative would be to set up identically named custom nameservers here at InMotion, then point the relevant domain for the nameservers to your account here. Of course, then you run into issues of propagation time possibly taking longer for some domains than the others and all the risks that come with that. Which solution is easier in the short-run and long-run will depend on what you feel most comfortable with. Hope that helps!
