If you have a CNAME alias then you must not have other DNS records (e.g., NS) for that name - see rfc1912 - section 2.4.

I guess that eNom interface just filters out this "CNAME for the whole domain". You must point your root domain name to IP addresses (or make the operator of .ac add a CNAME in their records - probably impossible).

If you use Amazon services, then this information about Amazon Route53 and its alias extension might also be interesting for you (see number 3).
