I have setup my nameservers, whilst my cable provider holds the reverse for that IP address, and it worked. Joker asked me for a hostname and an IP, and since the hostname did not exist yet (it was ns1.domain-i-wanted-to-register.tld) they specifically asked me if they wanted me to insert a record for it in the .com zone (or something, its been a while) .. I wonder why your registrar doesnt allow it. -- Nils Vogels PGP:0xC26BD15F Available on keyservers. S@H:5245WU/7.104yr --> setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu. Will you find aliens?
