Hmm, I'd check again, it's NOT ok

whois qld.nu@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Domain servers in listed order:
    ns.goodhosting4u.com
    ns2.goodhosting4u.com

Record last updated on 10-Dec-2001. <--

Your secondary nameserver is dead...
*** [209.126.170.111] can't find qld.nu: No response from server

It's not gonna answer if it's not talking to anyone :P


Your primary is lying about it's name
Server:  [209.126.170.250]
Address:  209.126.170.250

qld.nu  internet address = 209.126.170.250
qld.nu  nameserver = server1.nozol.com
qld.nu        origin = server1.nozol.com

[in-addr=4h170250.aspadmin.net.domain], Your local reverse is flaky too

nozol.com NOT what is listed with the .nu registry as your nameserver's
name, that will make them drop the root server records if you leave it
that way long enough,particularly as your secondary isn't responding at 
all and i suspect that's what has happened already...

Oh, and your primary isn't listing the name of the secondary either, tho
that may be a side effect of the secondary being stone dead ;P
