 I was testing africaleaf.com
Primary NS omega.eomw.net 62.192.133.162
Secondary NS ruo.leland-mw.org 62.192.133.1

ruo is my upstream providers NS and they are refusing(or failing) to put in
a slave configuration for the africaleaf.com and other domains.
As a result of this there is a non-authoritative response from
'ruo.leland-mw.org' which is set as the secondary NS for africaleaf.com.
