OK im totally stumped.

I Have hostingworksltd.com registered at directnic.com

i setup:

ns1.hostingworksltd.com : 69.64.34.247
ns2.hostingworksltd.com : 69.64.35.100

Both DNS point to 2 Ips on my server

Then i changed the DNS Servers for hostingworksltd.com to them.

I then added hostingworksltd.com into ENSIM ) name-based (

this gave the domain the ip: 69.64.34.247

which is NS1.hostingworksltd.com & My main server IP

I Assume the about address for the ip is wrong?
And that it should not point to that ip?

But i cannot /dns or /ping hostingworksltd.com

Is there something im missing? or that i have left out?

Do i have to add NS1/NS2 anywhere on my server?

Much Appreciated For Your Help

I don't think you have setup DNS in Ensim correctly.
69.64.34.247 seems to have a DNS server running and will return responses to queries on non-authoritative domains. However, the DNS request times out each time I try to query it for hostingworksltd.com. 69.64.35.100 does not appear to have any DNS server running on it.
Checkout this DNS howto here:
