problems settings NS record

[mikaelnz]

hi,
I am setting up the DNS records for a friend, for the domain
milena.co.nz

She has a wordpress blog, and in order for the domain to point there, she needs to change the NS record to worpress servers.

I did that from the directadmin administration panel (cf attachment for details).
NS are set as follow
milena.co.nz. NS SN1.WORDPRESS.COM.
milena.co.nz. NS SN2.WORDPRESS.COM.
milena.co.nz. NS SN3.WORDPRESS.COM.

however, these records seems not to be taken into consideration, and a whois returns:
ns_name_01: ns1.hostingdirect.co.nz
ns_name_02: ns2.hostingdirect.co.nz
ns_name_03: ns3.hostingdirect.co.nz
ns_name_04: ns4.hostingdirect.co.nz

Note that I did these record changes a few days ago

Thanks for your help!

Nameservers for domains need to be changed at the registrar where the domain is registered as well as in the domain's zone.

thanks ! I thought directadmin was the registrar, hence my confusion ...

DirectAdmin is simply a control panel. They do not register domains or provide hosting.
