Chris,
Your domain (upnix.com) is pointing to the following:
NS1.MYDOMAIN.COM 216.34.13.236
NS2.MYDOMAIN.COM 64.75.34.132
Record last updated on 18-Oct-2001.
which obviously is not what you want ....
Possible/probable reasons:
it appears you haven't changed the domain servers for the domain.
you haven't registered your hosts that are running cns.
your servers show correct forward but incorrect reverse:
dns.upnix.net.
207.153.6.66
**complete**
66.6.153.207.in-addr.arpa.
host = ip-207-153-6-66.oanet.com.
**complete**
dns2.upnix.net.
24.64.80.251
**complete**
251.80.64.24.in-addr.arpa.
host = h24-64-80-251.cg.shawcable.net.
**complete**
