Domains is domains.
First,
nslookup -type=ns il.us OR
dig ns il.us
; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> ns il.us

...
Now, we know the il.us name serves. So, do one of:
nslookup -type=ns paxton.il.us [one-of-the-above] OR
dig ns paxton.il.us @[one-of-the-above]
e.g., dig ns paxton.il.us @usdns.nic.us
shows
; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> ns paxton.il.us @usdns.nic.us
; (1 server found)
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch

paxton.il.us. 1W IN NS ns1.illicom.net.
paxton.il.us. 1W IN NS ns2.illicom.net.
Try the other servers.
