Robert,

I talked to XO directly, and they only gave me the IP addresses (when I
asked for hostnames!) In fact, they couldn't even give me the hostnames.
My apologies though, I should have done a dig for it, I was simply doing
an nslookup.

I've just submitted it with the nameserver2/3 combo, and it worked just
fine.

Thanks for the help,

        Bryan
