Actually the lookup you get here is wrong, the server sets the
authority bit incorrectly. This is because it is BIND 8.2.4 and
not properly behaved like ns6 which is running BIND 9.

depending how you look at it ;)

Get him to make both servers ns5 and ns6  slaves for the
myprofiles.com domain, and thus pulling copies from your server
using AXFR or IXFR.

You'll want to sort out sensible values for the SOA records
refresh, retry, MINTTL, and perhaps insert a $TTL directive....
