That's actually correct - just try doing a whois on the command line.



Also, see the rules for .re registrations at
https://www.gandi.net/domain/re/info, in particular:


Syntax: from 3 (excl 2 letters) to 63 alphanumeric 
characters or a hyphen (excluding in the first and last place
So he.re is not allowed - it's too short. Shame, really :)



So to anwer your question - looks like an interface bug, it should really say
'not allowed' rather than 'syntax error'.



Thanks,
