no glue at a parent server?
same physical server, same nameserver, but one gets a "B" rating for having glue, the other doesn't
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnstim...ist.org&type=A
vs.
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnstim...tist.us&type=A
So what is this glue, how to I set it up for my .ORG account?
I've looked at the resolv.conf, named.conf, hosts.conf to see any differences ... none so far. WHM'd my DNS zones ... same ...
Is there something else I'm missing here?

Yep
You can't have glue across TLDs. Your nameservers are not in the same TLD as your site.
Go get a free account at xname.org and you'll get the glue. Having a nameserver in the .us TLD isn't such a good idea (except maybe as a backup).

No, sorry. I learned all of this by the School of Hard Knocks.
Actually, the best resource is google. Failing that, asking in the right place is the best way!
xname is a bit tricky to set up, but I've used them for a long time and they've been pretty good.
Of course, as soon as I decided to make them primary, they got DDOSed, but that's another story. I wouldn't recommend making them primary for mission critical stuff, but they make great secondaries.
