	mercury.marcosoftware.com does not appear to exist.  The
	MNAME field is supposed to refer to the machine where you edit
	the zone data.

	marcosoftware.com is currently delegated to ns.marcosoftware.com
	and NS1-AUTH.SPRINTLINK.NET.  This should be refected here or
	corrected.  NS1-AUTH.SPRINTLINK.NET is currently not configured
	to serve marcosoftware.com but that may come good once you get
	ns.marcosoftware.com actually serving the zone.

	Nameservers cannot be CNAMES.  Make the entry for NS a A record.
