I wonder if that is something peculiar to Microsft DNS? I went to the
dot DNS file and removed the A record for the namveservers, but they
never did show up in the GUI. As a matter of fact when I added the A
record for the site manually:

@                     A	69.104.44.35

It didnt show up in the GUI, i had to add it via the GUI and it
complained that the 'name was invalid'. I did it anyway and, of course
it cleared the trouble.

Many thanks to everyone who has responded.
