If you're in the domains (.com at least, I believe others) which
Network Solutions administers, then whatever other registration
company you use, you're REALLY going through Network Solutions.
The other company just handles it for you. (for a fee)
If you're in other domains (.com.au, for instance) you deal with
whoever administers THAT domain, both for registration and for
registering your nameserver. In the .com.au case, I believe it's
AUNIC .. or maybe Melbourne IT. :/
Clear as mud? Good...
