Author Help with Dedicated Server Move

I need to move a site off of an existing dedicated server onto a new
dedicated server. What I am concerned about is when I sign up for the
NEW server, it asks me for the domain I will use, the server name, and
the name servers. We are using name servers ns1.xyz.com and
ns2.xyz.com on the old server.

What I need to know if I specify www.xyz.com as the domain and
www.xyz.com as the server name, and create the NS entries ns1.xyz.com
and ns2.xyz.com on the NEW server, will this kill access to the old
server?

Godaddy points the domain to the ns1.xyz.com and ns2.xyz.com name
servers. Do I need to change these names to a physical IP of the old
server do prevent an issue?

I guess I would like to know what prevents someone from using an
existing domain on a new machine and the same name server names? How
does the net prevent this from occurring?

Thanks

P.S. Not sure if this is a web issue or a network issue and where to
post this on usenet!
