The problem is that your domain is delegated to ns.iboats.com and
ns.local.iboats.com, and these names are both CNAME records on the
iboats.com servers, rather than A records like they're supposed to be.

ns.iboats.com.		1D IN CNAME	iboats.com.
ns.local.iboats.com.	1D IN CNAME	local.iboats.com.

Tell the iboats.com folks to fix their DNS.
