Thanks. Here is what I get, now:

Code Select Expand

   Domain Name: RATCHEER.COM
   Registrar: 1 & 1 INTERNET AG
   Whois Server: whois.schlund.info
   Referral URL: http://REGISTRAR.SCHLUND.INFO
   Name Server: NS2.HE.NET
   Name Server: NS3.HE.NET
   Name Server: NS4.HE.NET
   Name Server: NS5.HE.NET
   Status: ok
   Updated Date: 07-mar-2011
   Creation Date: 05-mar-2011
   Expiration Date: 05-mar-2012

Does this appear to be correct?

I'm going to guess that you left out ns1.he.net on purpose, correct?

Yes, there were only four slots on the web update form. I skipped #1, thinking it might have the heaviest load.

As it is a .COM, there should be 13 name server slots.  The registry is supposed to support that many.

Ok, I'll look at again. Maybe there is a button or something to open it up for more entries.

Thanks,

At my registrar, when you select to change DNS servers it presents you with a list of 4 input boxes and an option to add more at the bottom, and it'll open up more boxes.

That said, I'm not sure I think I'd ever be in a position to need more than 4 DNS servers for anything I'd ever do. *shrug*

Ok, I got it working and made it to Certified IPv6 Enthusiast. Yay!

Thanks, everyone, for all your help.
