Sorry for the delay in replying!

   I've been struggling with a rather hectic move where DNS was just one 
trouble spot.

   Anyway...

   I finally got DNS up and all happy. It turns out you were right 
(though still *big* thanks to Ian and Terry!!) and I needed to register 
the {ns1|ns2}.domain.com with the 'domain.com' registrar before any 
other registrars would recognize it.

   Here is a question though:

   I've got the O'Reilly DNS book and I didn't see any mention about 
this being a requirement of setting up authoritative name servers (okay, 
a fleeting mention). Did I miss something obvious or is this a 
relatively new concern/issue?

Thanks again!!
