yep

yep

At this instant, 09:35 Paris time, dig is getting quick and identical 
responses from both ns1 and ns2, but DNS Expert Pro is "unable to 
contact" either one.  Very strange.  Delegation for 
visioninsurancegroup.com is ok.

me, too. it's just DNS expert that can't.  ime, when it's having 
trouble, there's trouble.

maybe, but I doubt it.

say nothing for now, maybe my NT4 tcp/ip stack is acting up.  I'll 
reboot my wkstn.

But your DNS records look just fine. If mail isn't getting delivered, 
it's not a DNS pb.
