configuration not loading...won't respond to local queries

[Mark.Andrews at nominum.com]

	Firstly the SOA RNAME (contact) field should be "root.roundtuit.com."
	also the NS records between the parent and child zones need
	to agree.

	You have told Network Solutions that the servers are:
	MASTER.ROUNDTUIT.COM         38.157.149.2
	GALIFREY.ROUNDTUIT.COM       38.157.149.10
	then you advertise in the zone that the server is
	ROUNDTUIT.COM		     38.157.149.2

	However neither of these should cause local lookups to fail, the
	miss matching NS RRset will cause your clients problems however.

	What does "dig roundtuit.com soa +norec @38.157.149.2" return?
	What does "dig roundtuit.com soa +norec @127.0.0.1" return?
	What is the contents of resolv.conf?
