The UUnet name server show them being the origin of the domain. Are you
sure they are not doing anything strange with your zone definitions ? It

Server: ns2.uunet.ca
Address: 142.77.1.5
sdfsfdsdf.lucida.ca preference = 20, mail exchanger = mail.uunet.ca
lucida.ca nameserver = ns.uunet.ca
lucida.ca nameserver = ns2.uunet.ca
mail.uunet.ca internet address = 209.167.141.3
Get them to send you the zone definition. Also, you might be better off
asking on the BIND list no ?
