I think one of the biggest problems is when someone provides dns for 
themself.  That is their dns server is the dns server for their dns 
server.  Sound like a circle????  If you change the ip address of your dns 
server, how does it propagate.  It can't find itself.  Your site is 
registered with godaddy.  Did you change your record with godaddy? or do 
you need to?  I don't use them, so I don't know for sure.
