No problem for me from my own DNS servers (as seen by the dig output.)  
I can also visit the website OK going through my ISPs servers.

However if you try and query the primary nameserver listed in your SOA 
record (oxygen.aps.anl.gov) it times out:

-------------------------------------------
; <<>> DiG 9.6.1 <<>> @164.54.52.4 IllinoisAcceleratorInstitute.org
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
-------------------------------------------

The nameservers listed for this zone are dns1.aps.anl.gov and 
dns2.aps.anl.gov - no mention of oxygen.

HTH,
Andy
