hmmm, nope. csocs.com's glue records are, 09:30 French time
2000-01-20, in the root-servers.net but none of the answer
authoritatively for the zone. That's not NSI's or anybody's pb but the NS's.

I don't think your amazement and learning is over, yet.
DNS Expert Pro will not even analyze the csocs.com zone because no NS
is answering authoritatively for the zone. ie, the haywireness is in
the NS's and not in NSI, not in upstream links.
This has absolutley nothing all to do with NSI, as long as NSI has
not pulled the glue records from the roots. 99% of the time, absence
of the 'aa' flags means that the zone file has syntax errors.
In this query:
# dig +norec @NS.csocs.com csocs.com soa
; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> +norec @NS.csocs.com csocs.com soa
; (1 server found)

... ns.csocs.com should answer authoritatively, but it
doesn't. Forget about billing, NSI, upstreams, etc, and fix your
zone file(s), esp start with the master NS, if you run one master and
the others as slaves for csocs.com.
