Thanks for the info Scott.  I won't worry about it.

As for Len's comment:
I do understand that the warning can be easily mis-interpreted, causing
one to "chase" a problem that really doesn't exist.

Scott, is it possible to put a final comment on the DNSReport warning
such as:

"This indicates a possible minor problem, which most often is not worth
pursuing."

It doesn't complain; it gives a warning (which "indicate a possible
minor 
problem, which often is not worth pursuing").

WARNING. The parent servers (TLD1.ULTRADNS.NET.) are not providing glue
for 
all your nameservers. This means that they are supplying the NS records 
(host.example.com), but not supplying the A records (192.0.2.53), which
can 
cause slightly slower connections, and may cause some incompatibilities 
with some programs (if the programs are not fully RFC-compliant). This 
behavior is allowed by the RFCs. This will usually occur if your DNS 
servers are not in the same TLD as your domain (for example, a DNS
server 
of "ns1.example.co.uk" for the domain "example.com"). In this case, you
can 
speed up the connections slightly by having NS records that are in the
same 
TLD as your domain.

Most .org domains have this issue.

>Is this an issue with .org TLD servers?

No.

>What do I need to do?  Who do I need to speak with?

If you want to pursue this, you need to speak to whoever can give you
.org 
NS records.  Your NS records are ns1.lanechange.net, ns2.lanechange.net,

and ns3.lanechange.net.  So presumably you would contact the
lanechange.net 
people and ask them if they have ns1.lanechange.org, ns2.lanechange.org,

and ns3.lanechange.org that you can use.  If not, you can find other NS 
records on .org to use.  Or you can just ignore the issue, which most 
likely will not be noticeable.

In short, this is important if the speed of the first connection to your

website is vital; otherwise, it isn't very important.
