You have  left out the  IP addresses for your  NS records. If  you don't
provide . with an IP for the A record it has no glue. You either need to
put an IP in there, or use a separate A record with + for them:

+ns1.resultsbydesign.com:216.253.111.178:14400
+ns2.resultsbydesign.com:216.253.111.180:14400
+ns3.resultsbydesign.com:216.253.111.163:14400

It's  likely that  tinydns  doesn't know  that it  needs  to answer  the
queries (you can  show this by looking  at your tinydns logs  on ns2 and
ns3). Neither of them respond to queries:

$ dnsq a www.greenlightsport.com ns2.resultsbydesign.com
1 www.greenlightsport.com:
timed out
