"+nssearch" does SOA lookups for each of the nameservers, but ns.domainnetwork.se (and so forth) only returns an SOA record for hushpuppies-australia.com and not e.hushpuppies-australia.com:

% dig -t soa hushpuppies-australia.com. @ns.domainnetwork.se

Also notice that the nameservers listed in WHOIS (ie, ns*.domainnetwork.se) don't match ns*.exacttarget.com; you're missing several glue records as far as *.gtld-servers.net are concerned.
