I don't know about register.com, but at Network Solutions changing the
servers for a zone implicitly creates host records (if there isn't one
for the name/address you specify -- why you can't enter a host handle directly
I don't know). There are restrictions on who can create host records,
normally it has to be one of the listed contacts for the domain the server is
*in* (not the domain the server is for). It's not entirely clearly documented
so it takes a while to figure it all out. Register.com may or may not do
things the same way (I don't know the details of the interaction between the
new "registries" and the allegedly now independent InterNIC). Of course, if
they actually used the RIPE whois db format it might be more obvious what
was going on..
