Additionally whois shows the correct IPs for the above name servers being returned by the Registrar.   My zone file has A records with the correct IPs as shown below.:

This is the www.zonecheck.fr checking tool?  Like it says quite clearly
in the instructions, where the nameservers are part of the domain being
checked then you need to give IP numbers too.  If you do that, then the
water.com domain passes the test albeit with a few warnings about
everything being on the same network segment / same AS number.

Yes, if you're checking a live domain correctly registered and with the
right glue records in place, then zonecheck can find your nameservers
without external prompting.  If you're trying to check an unregistered
domain, then zonecheck will definitely need those IP numbers.  That's
really all those messages are trying to tell you.

	Cheers,
