Good example of why this "weak registry" system is flawed.

Operational help needed. Must register DNS server. Money
available.
Help?
Details below. Note that the more you read the stupider you will
get.

Facts: I own WETWORK.NET, registered with the register.com
registrar.
I own LETOH.COM, registered with network solutions
registrar.
20-oct I register a domain LETOH.COM with network
solutions,
and attempt to use the nameserver
"server.wetwork.net"
which is under my register.com domain wetwork.net.
Network solutions says to [NIC-991020.1545c]:
ERROR: Name Server <SERVER.WETWORK.NET>is not
registered
with InterNIC.
20-oct I send in a host template [NIC-991020.15848] but
NetSol
says:
The <WETWORK.NET> domain is non-existent.
First register this host through the host
registration
process or choose a different name-server.
AT THE SAME TIME I get another mail message from
them:
All Host Forms must be submitted from the e-mail
address
of the current host contact...we have sent a
notification
message ... which they did not send anywhere I can
tell.
22-oct I sent mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and asked them to
fix this.
26-oct Netsol says:
The problem with your HOST registration was that
you were
trying to register a host but the TOP-Level part of
the host
is not a registered domain, i.e.WETWORK.NET.
26-oct I wrote netsol and said:
Wetwork.net exists.. just not with your registry.
However, I wish to use mail.wetwork.net as a DNS
server
with your registry future domains. Please register
the host asap.
27-oct [EMAIL PROTECTED] says to send in a host template
and
includes one in the message...
27-oct I submit the host template [NIC-991027.75ef]. I
also
follow it up to help@ with:
991027.75ef duplicates 991020.15848 as per your
request.
27-oct Once again I get the 'All host forms must be
submitted
from the email address of the current host
contact...'
27-oct I forward the mess back to help@internic
[NIC-991027.14981]
I forward a copy to kimh@ with header
Subject: 1. I submit host form. 2 you reject it.
3 I ask for help. 4 help says submit host templte.
I DO.
Here's the rejection again. Please fix
27-oct help@ responds with:
Thank you for contacting Network Solutions.
To register a domain name in the COM, NET, ORG, and
EDU
top-level domains, you should:
1. Make arrangements for Internet service. A
company that
can connect you to the Internet
