Yeah, just tried that again. No love. For testing on my VPS I ran the host command against google.com, thats resolving fine.
I went over to pingability.com , some intersrting warnings that are yelling at me about a probably misconfigured DNS setting somewhere I just can’t figure out where i went wrong… 
Info Type Message
Warning MYDOMAIN.me does not have an IP Address (A) record.
Information 1,076 milliseconds to complete zone checks.
Error
None of this zone’s name servers responded on the request for ‘MYDOMAIN.me’ records. Giving up.
Heads-up
None of the name servers had an SOA record, randomly selecting ns1.box.MYDOMAIN.me as the master name server.
Warning
Did not find any IP Address (A) records for the name server
‘ns1.box.MYDOMAIN.me’. Normally the parent name server will list
them. These name server A records are also called ‘host records’ and
are usually set by the domain name registrar.
Heads-up
Found a glue record (111.111.111.111) at the
parent name servers but it appears ns1.box.MYDOMAIN.me is missing an
IP Address (A) record.
Error
The name server did not return any SOA records. This could indicate a ‘lame’ nameserver -
one that is listed as authoratative, but does not return any information
for the zone.
Thanks for the help/response JoshData!
