Bind9/named/DNS help needed



I've been trying to work with someone to move my DNS name of
snowwolf.org to the new machine, but just when I thought the IP was
going to transfer, it doesn't and a 'dig' returns the old DNS
entries...

here's what I'm talking about.
# dig -t ns snowwolf.org
;; ANSWER SECTION:
snowwolf.org.           1680    IN      NS      ns.vulpes.net.
snowwolf.org.           1680    IN      NS      ns1.transwarp.com.
snowwolf.org.           1680    IN      NS      ns1.wintermoon.org.
snowwolf.org.           1680    IN      NS      ns2.transwarp.com.


where it should be like this:
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
snowwolf.org.           43588   IN      NS      ns1.transwarp.com.
snowwolf.org.           43588   IN      NS      ns3.wintermoon.org.

The later is how the servers are setup on my registrar, and for a time
they should correctly (but incorrect IP), but when the 43588 reached
0, it pulled the wrong information from _somewhere_ and now I'm back
to the old DNS settings....

Since the IP of my machine won't change, I'm tempted just to create a
DNS server on it to serve my own name.. but I havn't found the proper
documentation to help me in that.

So what I'm asking for is two fold... firstly, I'd like an explanation
as to possible reasons for the jump-back in information.. and
secondly, I'd like to be pointed a good help site for making proper
named/bind conf files (in particular, .zone entries).
