DNS Expert sees it this way:

Errors
----------------------------------------------------------------------
o Unable to resolve the host name "charybids.ellipsis.cx." used in
   the NS record "ellipsis.cx."
     It was not possible to resolve the host name
     "charybids.ellipsis.cx." which is used in the NS record for
     "ellipsis.cx."  This indicates that a host with the name
     "charybids.ellipsis.cx." does not exist.

o Non-authoritative data received from the server
   "ns1.granitecanyon.com."
     The server "ns1.granitecanyon.com." is listed as being
     authoritative for the domain, but it does not contain
     authoritative data for it.

o Non-authoritative data received from the server
   "ns2.granitecanyon.com."
     The server "ns2.granitecanyon.com." is listed as being
     authoritative for the domain, but it does not contain
     authoritative data for it.

o The name server "charybdis.ellipsis.cx." is only listed in
   delegation data
     The server "charybdis.ellipsis.cx." is listed as being
     authoritative for the zone according to the delegation data, but
     there is no NS record for that server in the zone data.
     Delegation data and zone data should always match.

o Unable to check the name server "charybids.ellipsis.cx."
     It was not possible to check the name server
     "charybids.ellipsis.cx.", because its address could not be
     resolved.

o Only one of your name servers has autoritative data for the zone.
     The server "charybdis.ellipsis.cx." is the only server that has
     authoritaive data for the zone.  If this server becomes
     unavailable, your domain will become inacessible.

o The server "charybdis.nomic.net." did not reply
     The server "charybdis.nomic.net." did not reply when it was
     queried for the name "57.56.29.109.64.in-addr.arpa.".  This
     indicates that the server is not running, or it is currently
     unreachable.


Warnings
----------------------------------------------------------------------
o Server name in the SOA record differs from server name in an NS
   record
     The name server with the IP address 64.109.29.57 is identified by
     the name "ellipsis.cx." in the SOA record but the NS record uses
     the name "charybdis.ellipsis.cx." for the host.
