	They still have the old NS records cached.  You should make
	the oldservers slaves of the new servers until the old NS
	records expire.  Either that or demand that the old servers
	cease serving vil.maryville.il.us.  If they don't cease
	serving some caches will stay locked to the old servers so
	long as they have one query daily as the old servers will
	refresh the old NS RRset.
