domain not resolving from some boxes.

[Mark_Andrews at iengines.com]

	1. You missed the trailing period for ns1.lakecountyohio.org,
	   making the entry relative not absolute.
	2. NS1.OH.VERIO.NET is not configured to serve the zone yet it is
	   listed in the delegation.
	3. NS1.OH.VERIO.NET is not listed in the zone file.
