Yup, they're pretty badly screwed up:

Detailed Report for freebsdmall.com.
7/3/02, 11:14 AM, using the analysis setting "Thorough"
======================================================================
Information
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Serial number: 2002040101
Primary name server: ns1.freebsdmall.com.
Primary mail server: mail.freebsdmall.com.
Number of records: N/A
Errors
----------------------------------------------------------------------
o The server "ns2.freebsdmall.com." did not reply
The server "ns2.freebsdmall.com." did not reply when it was
queried for the name "freebsdmall.com.". This indicates that the
server is not running, or it is currently unreachable.
o The server "ns3.freebsdmall.com." did not reply
The server "ns3.freebsdmall.com." did not reply when it was
queried for the name "freebsdmall.com.". This indicates that the
server is not running, or it is currently unreachable.
o The name server "ns1.freebsdmall.com." is only listed in delegation
data
The server "ns1.freebsdmall.com." is listed as being
authoritative for the zone according to the delegation data, but
there is no NS record for that server in the zone data.
Delegation data and zone data should always match.
o An MX record for "freebsdmall.com." refers to
"mail.freebsdmall.com." which is a CNAME record
An MX record in the zone "freebsdmall.com." refers to the mail
server "mail.freebsdmall.com." The record "mail.freebsdmall.com."
is a CNAME record, not an A record.
o Only one of your name servers has authoritative data for the zone.
The server "ns1.freebsdmall.com." is the only server that has
authoritative data for the zone. If this server becomes
unavailable, your domain will become inaccessible.
Warnings
----------------------------------------------------------------------
o The zone contains more than one authoritative name server with the
same IP address
The name servers "www.freebsdmall.com." and
"ns1.freebsdmall.com.", which are authoritative for
"freebsdmall.com.", have the same IP address (66.220.2.194).
o The name server "ns1.freebsdmall.com." does not permit zone
transfers
The name server "ns1.freebsdmall.com." has been configured to
reject unauthorized zone transfers and the application will not
be able to use data from this server while analyzing the zone.
o Zone transfer from authoritative servers not possible
It was not possible to perform a zone transfer from any of the
authoritative name servers for the zone. This will limit the
range of tests performed for the zone.
o The Expire field in the SOA record contains an unusually high value
The value 8640000 of the Expire field in the SOA record is
unusually high. The value for this field should be within the
range 86400 - 3600000.
o There is only one MX record in the zone
The zone contains only one MX record. This will cause mail
delivery problems if the primary mail server becomes unavailable.
For safety purposes, there should be two or more mail servers
for every zone, the extra mail servers being used as backup
(secondary) servers for the primary server.
