This is correct. You can not use "standard" name servers when you are
connected to the testing name server. Let me post the resolution of a
trouble ticket that was closed for everyone. I would classify this as a
quirk to the testing server rather than the code of the client or the
interface. Just use the demo name server names and everything will work
fine. I have done several test registrations so far with no problems at all.
