It would be difficult to have both companies separately authoritative
for "something.com".
...
something.com nameserver = JUBAL.WESTNET.COM
something.com nameserver = WESTNET.COM
Authoritative answers can be found from:
JUBAL.WESTNET.COM internet address = 206.24.6.9
WESTNET.COM internet address = 206.24.6.2
...
If they are both authoritative, you will either have to ask both to
separately carry all records [and keep hounding them until they get it
right - reminds me, I have some hounding to do] or have one be master
and the other slave off of him.
Choose one.
