It's difficult to diagnose the problems from here (both my work and home 
machines, on completely separate networks) because I'm getting a lot of 
DNS query timeouts from your servers (brilliance.anonns.com seems to be 
more reliable at the moment). It may be that it's a network connectivity 
issue that's underlying your problems. Is it possible for you to get an 
additional DNS server on a separate network to act as an additional 
secondary for your domains? Both of your current DNS servers are 
currently on the same network, which doesn't help reliability.

The file above looks OK, though I'd be tempted to add a line:
$ORIGIN anonns.com.
at the top.
