( It's usually a good idea to give real data when you ask questions like this - so that we can check for ourselves. Clearly you have not, since the real SOA for foo.com contains: foo.com. IN SOA ns.okdirect.com. namemaster.okdirect.com. ( Anyway, the "try again" usually means the name server in question is not authoritative for the domain, even though the delegation (from the level above) says it should be. Thus you have a classic "lame delegation".
