Actually, I think there's a misunderstanding here. His connection is
through GCI, but where the domain was registered is irrelevant, as long as
he has the right DNS and such set up. In this case, since he is using the
IP from GCI, they include DNS and such as part of that IP.
In my case, everything is connected and such through GCI, but I used
Dotster to register the domain. I got the IP, asked for the DNS server
info and such, then did the registration at Dotster using their info and
told GCI what I did. No problems...
