NETIM-registered domain fails zone check with Linode nameservers
I've registered a domain with NETIM - which was then passed on to ISNIC, as I registered a .is domain - and set up the DNS nameservers to be the Linode ones (ns1.linode.com, ns2.linode.com, ns3.linode.com, ns4.linode.com, ns5.linode.com). I've also set up the connections to my domain through the Linode DNS Manager.
I then received this error on my account:
At this time, and according to the technical requirements of the registry, the above nameservers are not ready to host the new domain name.
What does this mean, and how can I fix this?

Perhaps Linode can do this on your behalf (ask in a ticket if no one picksup here), You can run your own BIND, or, I heard success using this free DNS service (might be my last choice of the three)(there are others. I am just aware of this one at the top of my head) https://1984.is/product/freedns/
Most optimal solution is to see if Linode is willing to register the nameservers with ISNIC. There may be technical or security reasons they are considering so I cannot predict an answer. Definitely worth an ask.
