	The point of registering multiple nameservers for a zone is to
	provide redunancy.  Using the same IP address for these two names
	does nothing to help redunancy.

	You are lucky that it works anywhere.

	You don't have address records for ns0.thecomputercorner.com or
	ns1.thecomputercorner.com in the zone below.  You need to add the
	missing address records.
