Help with Domain Registration

This is not strictly a BIND issue, but I'm hoping for some
insight into my problem.
Our campus bookstore has set up an e-commerce site, using
the domain names ugabookstore.com, ugabookstore.org, and
ugabookstore.net. All of these domains are registered with
networksolutions. The .net and .org domains work fine.
The .com domain doesn't work. If you check the registrar,
you find that it looks fine.

Domain servers in listed order:

DNS2.UGA.EDU 128.192.1.193
However, if you check the GTLD servers, you find that the
registration is incomplete. They don't know about the
two nameservers.

This was working, but seems to have stopped in the past few days.
The registration data shows that the domain doesn't expire until
may of 2003. I tried to talk with a technical support person at
Network Solutions, and got nowhere.
To get an idea of what it should look like, here a dig for one
of the working domains.

Does anyone have any ideas about what we can do to get this
fixed? I've never had much luck with the folks at NS, even
back when they were internic.net.
