Problems transfering .com to .com/.com.au nameservers

[Stuart Guthrie]

I'm a bit of a newbie here,

Trying to get a .com address delegated to .com nameserver who's secondary
server is .com.au. The provider from where the .com was purchased claims
that whois at internic cannot locate the .com.au nameserver and therefore
cannot transfer the domain. Is this a crock? internic only whois's .com not
.com.au so even bigpond.com.au gets a big negative.

Since my domain is a .com with a secondary .com.au, I know this is possible.
Is the transfer site's software too dumb.

What I've tried:

http://www.nic.fr/zonecheck The zones at all ends check out.

dig, lots of times on both name servers, it checks out.

I think the provider of the domain is at fault. I was wondering if
'domainsnext.com' are the only guys I can go to to transfer this domain,
that's where Sue purchased it.

TIA
