my DNS not resolving

[Ben Bridges]

Did you give your registrar the IP address of your name server?  They'll
need to have that for the glue records since the name of your name
server (iceman.jatec.us) is in your domain.

When you issued the dig command on iceman, it queried 205.171.3.65.  Is
that iceman's address?  If so, then iceman is misconfigured.  Iceman
should be authoritative for jatec.us.  The PTR record for 205.171.3.65
says it is resolver1.qwest.net.  What is the output of "dig @127.0.0.1
jatec.us"?
