He's currently got just the one DNS server for the dwsmedia.info domain, namely ADVANCED.ANONNS.COM. No glue record for this nameserver is needed in the top-level info domain because it's in a different domain.
Strange, I'm getting NXDOMAIN for dwsmedia.info. No NS records for it on ultradns name servers of any kind. His DNS servers (well, at least brilliance) do not seem to be configured as authoritative for dwsmedia.info domain either.
Could OP post relevant portions of named.conf and complete zone files? Maybe the error is in named.conf somewhere, or maybe there's typo in zone file causing BIND to ignore entire file. OP should also check /var/log/messages and see if BIND is complaining during startup about anything.
The DNS server at ADVANCED.ANONNS.COM [203.208.228.152] itself doesn't seem to be responding at the moment, hence domain dwsmedia.info is completely broken.
It is broken because ultradns (who's DNS servers are responsible for TLD info domain) do not have any NS records for dwsmedia.info.
Well, this might be due to the OP making changes. Earlier today it was correctly returning references to both "advanced" and "brilliance". The whois entry for dwsmedia.info just references ADVANCED.ANONNS.COM right now (and, interestingly, says the domain status is both "INACTIVE" and "OK").
I'm seeing NXDOMAIN from tld1.ultradns.net too.
