The delegation from the in. zone is broken

softexdigital.in.       86400   IN      NS      61.246.225.100.
softexdigital.in.       86400   IN      NS      61.246.225.101.
softexdigital.in.       86400   IN      NS      203.200.144.20.
softexdigital.in.       86400   IN      NS      203.200.144.21.

Should have NS names, not addresses.  dig +trace must be spotting
the IP addresses and fixing up -- interesting!
