Which comes first? DNS or nameservers?

Its just I'm editing a domain and want to point it to different hosting servers. Now, normally I'd just set the nameservers to the new hosting nameservers, but this doesn't seem to be working (the control panels not brilliant - doesn't say "accepted" or "success" - and whois searches are turning up nothing - although I should leave it a while longer).

Anyway - the point is, in the DNS records there are two A records (one for " " and one for "www") which have an ip address associated with them.

So this is what I don't understand. If I change the nameservers, do I have to remove the DNS records? Will name servers "overwrite" a DNS record? Or vice versa?

Thank you.

Nameservers comes first. The browser asks who knows about domain.com and the answer comes back with the nameservers that the domain is configured with (via the registrar). Then those nameservers are asked about DNS information for domain.com and domain.com and they return the IP.

So if it's not working then the problem is with the DNS records for the new hosting nameservers. Or else it just needs time for the change in nameservers to propagate.
