I was able to successfully reproduce your problem.
I have researched and have come up with a very simple solution which I have 
forwarded to the person responsible for maintaining this part of the UI.

If you are experienced enough to use vi, you can do the change yourself by 
editting /usr/admserv/cgi-bin/.cobalt/dns/index.cgi

Then search for the line containing "type eq 'seco"

In this line, please change $domain =~ /^[\d\.]+/ to $domain =~ /^[\d\.\/]+$/'

I've urged engineering to release a patch to correct this issue asap, so if you 
don't have this problem, please do not modify this and wait until the patch is 
released.
