[ale] Bind newbie question

[John Wells]

Ok,

I went ahead with GoDaddy's advanced DNS and modified the zone file for my
devsea.com domain.  You should now be able to hit ns.devsea.com with a
ping.  You should also be able to lookup devsea.net or devsea.org by:

dig @ns.devsea.com devsea.net

Now, however, when trying to switch devsea.org to use ns.devsea.com
through their interface, I get: "NS.DEVSEA.COM is not a registered name
server."

Is there an additional step here that I'm missing?

Thanks!
John
