Gidday, you should be able to register using any name at all including .co.nz, .net.nz etc, I can't see why they'd have that kind of constraints on their setup. Does it let you put an IP address in instead? You might be able to use the IP address of your primary etc. They might need a bit of a kick in the right place if they think that the only domains that exist are .com etc.

We've just set up a new DNS server for a client whose domain name is a
.co.nz name, and we can't make it a primary or secondary for .com or
.net names.  In the (distant) past we've 'registered' name servers with
Network Solutions, and then it's been all good.  Now that the registries
are with Verisign there seems to be no way to register anything other
than a name server on a .com or .net name, and that has to be completed
via the registrar (Tucows, Godaddy etc).

I'm not sure whether I'm being particularly dense or if this is actually
a difficult thing to do - can someone please let me know what the
process is now for registering a .nz server to enable it to be a primary
or secondary for .com or .net names.

Thanks,
Gerard
