GraniteCanyon public DNS newsgroup access

[perryb1354 at my-deja.com]

I've been chompn' at the bit waiting for the news server to come back
as well.

I'm desperately trying to use my own "Unpublished" name server, but
can't seem to grasp the concept.  What I *think* is right, by reading
the info on public DNS web, is not working.  Can someone give me a
better description of how this works?  Here is what I've done, that
does *not* work.

Created registered my domainA with NIC and pointed both primary and
secondaries to granitecanyon's ns'.

Next, created "Primary DNS" with granitecanyon for the same domainA
with an A record pointing to my name server ns.domainA.org.

Now on ns.domainA.org, I configured to allow zone xfers from
granitecanyon's ns1 and ns2.  This has been running for about 48 hours
and using a sniffer and logs, I can't see that granitecanyon's ns1 or
ns2 are requesting xfers from my name server - ns.domainA.org.

Then I registered a domainB with the NIC, pointed to granitecanyon's
ns1 and ns2.  Went to ganitecanyon and created "Secondary DNS" for this
domanB and pointed it to my previosly created ns.domainA.org.  This
isn't working and I don't have any control over my domains.  The only
thing that does work is the initial domainA that I created using
the "Primary DNS" of granite canyon, but I still have to make zone
changes, add A records etc., via granitecanyon's web.

If someone ahs a clearer explanation of how this "Unpublished primary"
is supposed to work, I'd sure appreciate some help.  If possible,
please e-mail me at admin at pongo.org

Thanks
