[Cialug] Authoritive DNS

Well, I'm attempting to set up an authoritive DNS server, and sites like
register.com won't consider it 'valid'. Here's the output of host on the
domain (showing the records entered):

coldfusion:~# host -Z -a -l lildevilnoizelab.com
 !!! lildevilnoizelab.com has only one nameserver code0.net
lildevilnoizelab.com.   86400   IN      SOA     code0.net.

                        4294967295      ;serial (version)

                        7200    ;retry interval (2 hours)
                        604800  ;expire time (1 week)
                        86400   ;default ttl (1 day)
                        )

                        604800  ;expire time (1 week)
                        86400   ;default ttl (1 day)
                        )
coldfusion:~#

I know it only has one NS, but I can't add backup NS until register.com
considers code0.net authoritive. It just tells me that the 'server isn't
valid'. Any ideas? Does anyone know what register.com considers to be a
valid server? Thanks!
