I believe this now looks better:
[root at master named]# dig roundtuit.com soa +norec @38.157.149.2

I've also corrected the A records - galifrey's DNS hasn't updated 
yet, so it's not responding... it will shortly.

The time nslookup takes to come up has also dramatically shortened 
and local hosts are now resolving.

Thanks
Hugh
