whois nccumc.com

Domain Name: nccumc.com
Registrar: Spot Domain LLC
 
Expiration Date: 2010-05-24 17:40:40
Creation Date: 2004-05-24 17:40:40
 
Name Servers:
    ns2.nccumc.org
    ns1.nccumc.org
 
===
host ns1.nccumc.org
ns1.nccumc.org has address 70.150.217.88

host ns2.nccumc.org
ns2.nccumc.org has address 70.150.217.89

===
host www.nccumc.org 70.150.217.88
Using domain server:
Name: 70.150.217.88
Address: 70.150.217.88#53
Aliases:
 
www.nccumc.org has address 70.150.217.67

Note: that worked fine!

===
host -t ns nccumc.org
nccumc.org name server ns2.domainsite.com.
nccumc.org name server ns3.domainsite.com.
nccumc.org name server ns4.domainsite.com.
nccumc.org name server ns1.domainsite.com.

Note: Huh? The name servers are not ns1.nccumc.org and ns2.nccumc.org

host ns1.domainsite.com
ns1.domainsite.com has address 69.25.212.129

Looks like you need to put a pair of NS statements in your zone files
pointing to the ns1.nccumc.org and ns2.nccumc.org servers...
