Unfortunately Network Solutions stopped creating Host records
automatically several years ago.  Since then, you have had to
specifically send in a HST request and have that processed before you
could use that host in an NS record.  If you attempt to use a
non-registered name server, they will bounce your request back at you
(or worse, drop it on the floor).
