"Special" in the sense of "needs an IP address that cannot ever change because it cannot be looked up by DNS"?
Right.
There's nothing more special about ns.nic.de than about www.google.com - if the service moves, the address in the DNS changes, and people won't even notice.
Hmmm, Gert, sorry if I seem rude, but did you heard of glue records? If not, "whois -h whois.iana.org de" and you'll understand the difference with Google (the last change we requested from IANA, adding a new name server, ns3.domain-registry.nl, for ".re" is now three weeks old and still not performed... DENIC has similar experience.).
