I didn't realize that about the nameservers, but I did send DNS info with
the original registration (ns1.easydns.com and ns2.easydns.com, which exist
on the test system, AFAICT).

I did submit it with nameserver information: dns1.foo-bart.com and
dns2.foo-bart.com, which purposefully don't exist. This was to confirm with
Charles (who I've been speaking to previously) that this is a bug on both
the live and test systems. I'm cc'ing him on this, so you can check with
him if you like.
It seems that bogus NS records are ignored. I would expect that they should
generate a warning instead.

Here is some further information on this, which I can't understand why it's
failing.
First a get_domain command to check the current nameservers:
...
[nameserver_list] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[ipaddress] => 205.210.42.21
[sortorder] => 1
[encoding_type] =>
[name] => ns1.easydns.com
)
)
...
Then, I send a modify_domain command:
[action] => modify
[object] => domain
[cookie] => 550269460:207224
[attributes] => Array
(
[data] => nameserver_list
[nameserver_list] => Array
(
[action] => update
[name] => ns1.domaindirect.com
[sort_order] => 1
)
)
Result of modify_domain:
[is_success] => 0
[protocol] => XCP
[_OPS_msg_type] => standard
[object] => MODIFY
[_OPS_msg_id] => 50.9894376751419
[response_text] => Fatal Server Error Occured
[response_code] => 400
[action] => REPLY
[_OPS_version] => 0.9
I don't think I'm doing anything wrong ...

Somewhat. :) I'm on that list, and rarely do I get responses. I'll cc this
to the list as well.
