I queried a authoritative ns for globalnet.co.uk (that is your domain?) and
got
Non-authoritative answer: file://finding the name server
globalnet.co.uk nameserver = auth2.dns.gxn.net
globalnet.co.uk nameserver = auth3.dns.gxn.net
globalnet.co.uk nameserver = auth4.dns.gxn.net
globalnet.co.uk nameserver = auth1.dns.gxn.net
auth2.dns.gxn.net internet address = 195.224.255.6
auth3.dns.gxn.net internet address = 194.205.172.242
auth4.dns.gxn.net internet address = 195.224.255.94
auth1.dns.gxn.net internet address = 195.224.255.2
> server auth1.dns.gxn.net
Default Server: auth1.dns.gxn.net
Address: 195.224.255.2
> set type=a
> globalnet.co.uk
Server: auth1.dns.gxn.net // authoritative answer
Address: 195.224.255.2
Name: globalnet.co.uk
