Actully, they both forward to webtrafix.net which lists itself as it's own
nameserver...

webtrafix.net
        nameserver = webtrafix.net

ig: when ns1 wants to look up it's own name it goes to root, gets
ns1.webtrafix.net which is it's own name and doesn't work (it's not
authorative) perhaps if your lucky it tries ns0. but that delegates to
webtrafix.net which it doesn't know yet...i think it's looping ;0

what happened to ns0.webtrafix.net listed with netsol?
