Something's definitely broken.

Your DNS for DNS2.PIXEXCEL.CO.UK points 80.71.1.76, but I get:

# whois -h whois.crsnic.net 80.71.1.76
...
   Server Name: NS1.ZONESEEKERS.COM
   IP Address: 80.71.1.76
   Registrar: MELBOURNE IT, LTD. D/B/A INTERNET NAMES WORLDWIDE
   Whois Server: whois.inww.com
   Referral URL: http://www.inww.com

When doing a query at NSI's whois server, you can "expand" your query
to show full records for multiple matches if you prepend your query
with an "=" character.

Note that the record for DNS2.PIXEXCEL.CO.UK at Network Solutions is
*not* the authoritative registrar for that host.  You can always find
who's authoritative for a host or IP by asking whois.crsnic.net.
