Did you tell them to update the following Host record:

   Server Name: WWW.ANGUSANDROSS.COM
   IP Address: 62.49.139.178
   Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, INC.
   Whois Server: whois.networksolutions.com
   Referral URL: http://www.networksolutions.com

The problem is the above glue record.  Since the GTLD servers have this
record installed, queries stop there, without going to your servers.  Tell
NSI to delete or update that record.
