DNS ISSUES WITH QWEST

Dear whomever,

I have dns box setup and running

IP= 65.221.79.32

Nameservers:

ns0.thecomputercorner.com
ns1.thecomputercorner.com


Here is my problem:

Using this command:

dig @205.171.3.65 secure.thecomputercorner.com a
dig @205.171.3.65 freemail.thecomputercorner.com a
dig @205.171.3.65 buy.thecomputercorner.com a
dig @205.171.3.65 phpsys.thecomputercorner.com a
dig @205.171.3.65 freemail.ohioisonline.com a
dig @205.171.3.65 phpsys.ohioisonline.com a

Sometimes one works and the other doesn't or neither work or all
sorts of wierd stuff.

What I do know:

Same registration company
Same Web Server
Same Zones (we have been trying to change stuff so the attached zones
for both domains may be a little off but still don't work)
Same DNS box and everything is identical
(AND REMEMBER IT WORKS EVERYWHERE ELSE EXCEPT WITH THIS DNS BOX FROM
QWEST)

The ip that I am using with dig is the qwest dns server that I get
when logged in with my dial-up account.  I have checked with other
people all around the world and it works fine to all of them and
never breaks.

If I point my dialup connection directly to MY dns server
(65.221.79.32) it works great.  If I log in with my other dialup
which uses a UUNET dns server it works fine.

I have been in touch with my isp and they seem to think it's dns but
I don't think that it is and that they are just beating around the
bush.

Attached is named.conf, thecomputercorner.com zone, ohioisonline.com
