Inconsistent resolution

Name servers cannot be cnames.  The DNS protocol cannot be made to
work reliably when they are CNAMEs without changing the definition
of glue and the additional section processing rules.  CNAME records
are NOT added as glue, A and AAAA are added as glue.

ns1.oregonisonline.net.	3600	IN	CNAME	ns1.peak.org.
ns1.peak.org.		3600	IN	A	207.55.16.51

ns2.oregonisonline.net.	3600	IN	CNAME	ns2.peak.org.
ns2.peak.org.		3600	IN	A	50.57.78.108

If you want the nameservers to be ns1.peak.org and ns2.peak.org
update the NS records and update the delegation.  In the
meantime restore the A (and AAAA records if they exist)
for ns1.oregonisonline.net and ns2.oregonisonline.net.
