Prob delegation .com.au domains

According to WHOIS and the root servers, wildcomm.net is delegated to
ns2.totalnic.net, ns3.totalnic.net and ns1.qldwide.com. Of those, only
ns1.qldwide.com is actually answering for the zone, and it has a much
different idea about the zone contents than what you posted in the zone
file, most notably it thinks that ns1.wildcomm.net is a CNAME, and its
serial number for the zone is significantly *higher* than yours. Before you
think about trying to delegate from com.au, why don't you clean up your
.net delegation first?
