OK, please let me know once you have figure out the DNS issue.
But if you are using CMS 2.0.1, then you would only see the optimization page if you are using it with Site Sculptor, in which case you should not be seeing any <p> tags because the meta and keywords fields are just text field.
But if you insert it the meta tag by creating a new region in your CMS and copied the Developer notes to your meta tags, then you can remove the <p> tags by going to the update page and clicking the Source which is located on the top left hand side on the HTMLEditor.
If you still have any questions, please send me a link to your page along with a copy of your page to further determine where the p tags are coming from.
