That looks a bit wierd!

Your NS entries should be names not IP addresses.  What's happened is
that the name server has treated the IP addresses as relative hostnames
and appended the zone on the end.  You'll want to look at this.

On the otherhand:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
www.skyforge.net.       1d1m40s IN CNAME  blackice.skyforge.net.
blackice.skyforge.net.  1d1m40s IN A    194.73.89.1

This looks ok.

If you get your name servers fixed in your zone file (remember to bump
the serial number :) then that should fix things.
