Entering Route53 Nameservers gives me errors on Godaddy

Question

I have set up an elastic IP for my EC2 instance on Amazon Web Services.
I have also set up the correct Record Sets in Route53.

However, when I try to add the name servers that are given to me into GoDaddy to point to my domain, I am getting an error:

You entered invalid characters. Valid characters include letters, numbers, and periods.

There are four name servers and they look something like this:

ns-***.awsdns-**.com.  ns-****.awsdns-**.co.uk. ns-***.awsdns-**.net. ns-****.awsdns-**.org.  

Where the *'s are numbers. It also won't let me add more than 2 name servers as it is.

Answer 1

In the Go Daddy Domain Control Panel, don't launch the DNS manager...  Instead, click on the "Set Nameservers" link, just to the left of that.  

Select the radio button next to "I have specific nameservers for my domains" and then populate the 4 nameserver hostnames provided by Route 53, into those 4 boxes.

Don't enter the dot at the end of each nameserver name into the boxes.

Answer 2

You have to copy the aws nameservers without '.' at the end and add to the following name server field.

aws nameservers:

-ns-*.awsdns-.com

-ns-****.awsdns-**.co.uk

-ns-*.awsdns-.net

-ns-****.awsdns-**.org

In the Godaddy setting:

Domains ->set nameserver->custom->ns-*.awsdns-.com
