You appear to be referring to two domains;

    abcgraphics.com

and

    abc-graphics.com

Doing a couple of DNS Lookups ...

<nslookup:abc-graphics.com/*/203.2.75.2>

As the second domain does not appear to exist I'm not surprised that you are
having problems.

Looks like you have both domains registered, but you don't have any DNS
entries for the second and hence your problem.

Chances are you need to delegate authority for the abcgraphics.com domain to
the servers you are now using for Primary and Secondary NS for the other
domain.

Also I've tried doing lookups via NS3.FREESERVERS.COM and
NS4.FREESERVERS.COM and both refuse to provide any info.
