Oh darn,

   I saw that when I changed the Registrar records that it changed the 
default NS to be applied to -future- domains. I had to take one more 
step to apply it to -existing- domain. That is fixed but still no 
resolution. Here is what I am getting;

   Nameservers of the test workstation; 142.77.1.5, 142.77.2.36

Output from test workstation (my home box) outside the server's network.

NS2-Hostname:   ns2.madisonave.ca
NS2-Netaddress: 209.167.86.38


   So, the NS are now pointing to the proper locations 
(ns1|2.madisonave.ca) which are themselves in the Madisonave.ca zone. 
The changes have been in effect since just before 8am... I am not sure 
how long it takes to get the root servers or whatever to figure out 
where to point things to.

   Thanks for the ever continuing help!
