I just looked at the registration, and you also listed ns0.ipasar.com.

It's not usually a good idea to have two different master servers; it's
usually best to have one master server and all the other servers configured
as slaves, so that they'll stay in sync automatically.  Otherwise, you have
to manually update both servers whenever you make a change.

What you have now is inconsistent data between the dnsmadeeasy.com servers
and your own server.  For instance, your server has an MX record for the
domain, but the DNS-Made-Easy servers don't.
