hi jon,

try to look at this:

86400   IN      NS	ultra7media.com.

please take note the dot (.) after your domain name. you should terminate
every domain statement with a period, this will signify the end of the 
statement. if the statement ends with an ip
address, you dont need to put a period at the end.

hope this will help.
