Authority Issue with Primary DNS - URGENT

Hey all,

I am having a problem here with my DNS and I am at my wits end trying to
figure it out.

Whenever I query the DNS directly for an A record, I get one and only one
response in the Authority section of the query when I should get four.  Here
is my lookup:

[root@symbiotic ~]# dig @EXTERNAL IP signup.example.com

; <<>> DiG 9.5.0b1 <<>> @EXTERNAL IP signup.example.com
; (1 server found)
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 50735
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;signup.example.com.             IN      A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
signup.example.com.      86400   IN      A       66.103.64.19

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
example.com.             86400   IN      NS      ns1.example.com.

;; Query time: 75 msec
;; SERVER: EXTERNAL IP#53(EXTERNAL IP)
;; WHEN: Tue Apr 22 11:10:04 2008
;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: 69

However here is what i get with my Authority lookup in my mysql dns:

mysql> use dns_external;
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed
mysql> select ttl, type, mx_priority, data, resp_person, serial, refresh,
retry, expire, minimum from records where zone = 'example.com' and (type =
'SOA' or type='NS');
+-------+------+-------------+-----------------+------------------------+------------+---------+-------+--------+---------+
| ttl | type | mx_priority | data | resp_person | serial | refresh | retry |
expire | minimum |
+-------+------+-------------+-----------------+------------------------+------------+---------+-------+--------+---------+
| 86400 | SOA | NULL | ns1.example.com. | hostmaster.example.com. |
1208293826 | 21500 | 900 | 86400 | 600 |

| 86400 | NS | NULL | ns4.example.com. | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL |
NULL |
+-------+------+-------------+-----------------+------------------------+------------+---------+-------+--------+---------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)--


It should be returning all four entries. I cannot figure out what the
problem is. Any ideas?

Thanks,
