Notice the absence of "ns.3dillusion.com!

nslookup in interactive mode gives the same ...

brahe:/etc $ nslookup
Default Server:  ns1.midco.net

Non-authoritative answer:
3dillusion.com
        origin = serv1.tcimet.net
        mail addr = hostmaster.serv1.tcimet.net
        serial = 878825332
        refresh = 10800 (3 hours)

        expire  = 604800 (7 days)
        minimum ttl = 86400 (1 day)

Authoritative answers can be found from:
3dillusion.com  nameserver = METS.TCI.EAST-LANSING.MI.US
3dillusion.com  nameserver = SERV1.CL.MSU.EDU
3dillusion.com  nameserver = mets.tcimet.net
3dillusion.com  nameserver = serv1.tcimet.net
METS.TCI.EAST-LANSING.MI.US     internet address = 198.109.160.2
SERV1.CL.MSU.EDU        internet address = 35.8.2.41
mets.tcimet.net internet address = 198.109.160.2
serv1.tcimet.net        internet address = 198.109.160.3

So, in my earlier post when I say you're set up all right, I was
incorrect ... the DNS at your site is wrong.  What I find interesting is
that it seems to be sane at the other two servers ...

I believe Carey has nailed your problem here.

Again, as I showed you above, this is true.  Your local named is NOT
authoritative, cos it's set up incorrectly.
