Insist how?  Do they actually check or are they just trying to reduce
support issues?

Can you not just keep doing your own DNS and tell them that you have
indeed made the change?

You can query the servers they tell you to use directly for
www.yourdomainname and then use that IP/CNAME as the record in the zone
you host yourself.

Friends don't let friends keep domains with Network Solutions.

Seriously, move the domain to an OpenSRS based reseller (disclaimer: I
represent Black Cat Networks, an OpenSRS reseller) or any other
competent reseller really.
