The reason for specifying multiple servers is to
provide REDUNDANCY. Giving two names to the same
machine does not provide redunacy and just wastes
bandwidth.
ns1.polychip.net. 2D IN A 67.95.110.169
ns2.polychip.net. 2D IN A 67.95.110.169
I suspect you problem is a firewall. You need to open
up both 53/UDP and 53/TCP.
