Are you sure the problem isn't in the web server's configuration?  The 
DNS entry looks fine to me:

$ host jakeg.org
jakeg.org has address 217.199.184.151

However, it looks like there's a problem with your secondary server, 
ns.secondarynameserver.com.  It isn't answering authoritatively for your 
domain.  I'm guessing that's why you have ns2.jakeg.org in your zone 
file, even though its address is the same as ns.jakeg.org.
